Excellent Boston Globe Media article about the transition to #EVs. To eliminate #rangeanxiety, there needs to be sufficient infrastructure to ensure and EV can get charged quickly and easily. This requires a significant upgrade of the electrical grid. Federal #bipartisaninfrastructurelaw funds will be available for states to speed up development of #fastcharging stations along freeways and major roads. #cleanenergytransition

Electric vehicle adoption in Australia is rapidly growing, but are we ready?🚗 Australia’s light vehicle EV sales more than doubled year on year between 2022 and 2023. With some states targeting a ban on internal combustion engine car sales by 2035, we have work to do to ready our infrastructure, policies, and regulations. Combining cross-sector and global expertise, our response to the Australian Federal Government’s inquiry into the transition to electric vehicles sets out priorities for the effective implementation of commercial and residential charging infrastructure, how to embed micro-mobility modes in the transit landscape safely, a transition to zero emission bus fleets, and how a low-carbon fuel sector will support electrification broadly. 🚲🚌 Read the submission 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gZ8MYWPN #SustainableLegacies #EnergyTransition #ElectricVehicles

Just came across a brilliant white paper on "Understanding Electric Vehicles Infrastructure" by C3 Controls. 🚗💡 It delves into the essential components shaping the EV landscape. From charging infrastructure to sustainable practices, it's a comprehensive guide for anyone keen on the future of transportation. 🌐 Check it out for insights that electrify the mind! #ElectricVehicles #InfrastructureInsights #Sustainability #Monaghan #Monaghantown 📚 https://lnkd.in/eqZSMT5G

So the target for rapid charge points on motorways was missed and the article notes “it's often the high-power cabling to the grid that's the major barrier”. EV’s are becoming a staple on our roads and yet the basic infrastructure behind the scenes remains a challenge. Is this a warning about the proposed grand plan for an all electric future and the timescale we need to actually deliver it? Do we honestly have the time given the climate crisis? Could it be better to think about our energy needs and infrastructure more holistically and electrify where it makes practical sense and look at alternatives where it doesn’t? #energysystems #systemsthinking Motorway electric car charge point target missed, says RAC https://lnkd.in/eyQZWMaB

The Advanced Clean Trucks (ACT) rule is critical to getting more electric freight trucks on the road. States that have passed the ACT have invested $549 million in freight electrification, over five times the $103 million invested by states that have not passed the ACT.

Safety and performance requirements for zero emission vehicles On 31 October 2023, the Assistant Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, Senator the Hon Carol Brown, signed 3 new Australian Design Rules (ADRs) on zero emission vehicle safety. ADR 109/00 and 109/01 – Electric Power Train Safety Requirements are 2 new standards that mandate technical, safety and performance requirements for high voltage electrical components, such as the Rechargeable Electrical Energy Storage System (REESS) and traction motor operated by high voltage electric power that is not permanently connected to the grid. This includes their high voltage components and systems which are galvanically connected to the high voltage bus of the electric power train. The new ADR 110/00 – Hydrogen-Fuelled Vehicle Safety Related Performance provides technical, safety and performance requirements for Compressed Hydrogen Storage Systems (CHSS) and their components. Establishing these national road vehicle standards and aligning them with international standards ensures the safest possible vehicles are available for the Australian community and on our roads. Furthermore, ADRs 109/00 and 109/01 supports the Australian Government’s National Electric Vehicle (EV) Strategy in increasing the uptake of EVs to reduce our emissions and improve the wellbeing of Australians. ADR 110/00 supports the Australia’s National Hydrogen Strategy to long-term emissions reductions and a viable alternative fuel source.   Applicability of ADRs ADR 109 – Electric Power Train Safety Requirements  ADR 109/00 will apply from 1 November 2024 for all new model vehicles and from 1 November 2025 for all vehicles. ADR 109/01 will apply from 1 November 2025 for all new model vehicles and from 1 November 2028 for all vehicles. Both ADRs will harmonise Australian requirements for MA, MB, MC, ME, NA, NB and NC category vehicles with international standard UN Regulation No. 100 respectively. ADR 110 – Hydrogen-Fuelled Vehicle Safety Related Performance ADR 110/00 will apply from 1 November 2024 for all new model vehicles and from 1 November 2026 for all vehicles. This ADR will harmonise Australian requirements for MA, MB, MC, ME, NA, NB and NC category vehicles with international standard UN Regulation No. 134.

An interesting article touching on the challenges hindering widespread EV infrastructure in the UK. Securing grid connections and navigating the planning system seem to be the biggest blockers at the moment. What do you think is needed to overcome these barriers?💭🔋🚘 https://lnkd.in/eQS67snu

Electric vehicles (EVs) are becoming more common, with passenger EV sales rising by 25% in Q1 2024. However, off-highway vehicles in construction and agriculture face challenges in electrification due to heavy workloads and harsh environments. Innovations in thermal management systems are crucial for ensuring the performance and efficiency of these rugged EVs, addressing issues like range requirements, environmental conditions, and infrastructure needs.
