The objective of the second generation was to gather as much experience as possible about how customers use and charge electric vehicles.
ENGADGET: Third generation Smart Fortwo ditches Tesla powertrain, gains two wheeled cousin
Leveraging expertise gained in household appliances and automotive solutions, the Bosch Power Max is UL-certified in both the United States and Canada, and is designed to safely and efficiently charge electric vehicles.
ENGADGET: Bosch introduces affordable Power Max home EV charger range, starts at $450
Dishwashers and water heaters that are programmed to do most of their high energy tasks at night, for instance, or Ford's Value charging system, which leverages a cloud database to charge electric vehicles when utility rates are at their lowest.
It can take 22 hours or more to charge an electric car using basic Chademo charging.
He thinks by then there will be the infrastructure available to allow drivers to fast-charge their electric vehicles in 10 minutes or so.
FORBES: Coda Automotive's Electric Vehicle Has An Uphill Climb Ahead
Mass spectrometry works by evaporating molecules, giving them an electric charge, and then applying an electric field to them and accelerating them through a vacuum chamber to a detector.
ECONOMIST: This year, the Nobel authorities have shown a deft touch
In a survey that should come as a surprise to no one, 95 percent of people polled in Southern California say they would prefer to charge their electric vehicle at home, according to the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI).
The 2013 Volt can travel an average of 38 miles on one full electric charge before its onboard gas-powered electric generator seamlessly switches on.
An official says visitors will be shuttled round 798's old factories, free of charge, in electric buggies.
Helium nuclei have an electric charge, so they stay in the tight hug of the magnetic fields.
Because neutrons have no electric charge they tend to escape from the apparatus, taking energy with them.
If one of the ribbons in the plait is twisted, it gives the resulting particle an electric charge.
Then they measured the capacitance (the ability to hold an electric charge) of 4, 000 different positions to pinpoint the ideal mixture.
Colloidal silver is a solution of submicroscopic particles of pure silver suspended in water by an electric charge on each particle.
Neutrinos are ghostly particles with no electric charge and very little mass.
Piezoelectric materials generate an electric charge when their shape is changed.
's 787 Dreamliner have an electric charge of 65 ampere hours.
The process took advantage of an electric charge differential existing between the polymer, which was positively charged, and the bacteria cells, which carried a net negative charge.
The method works because the electrical field polarises the electric charge on water molecules in the air around the icy tip and then draws them in electrostatically.
If an electric charge is applied to the crystal, these holes and electrons will move in opposite directions, knocking into the lattice and creating more and more holes.
The energy released in fusion is carried mostly by neutrons, a type of subatomic particle that has no electric charge and hence cannot be confined by the magnetic bottle.
It acts like a giant spark plug, busting apart a tiny portion of the diesel fuel with an electric charge so that the molecules rearrange themselves into carbon monoxide and hydrogen.
The selling point of the E-rev is that is cuts out "range anxiety" because if the electric charge in the battery runs low the car can use petrol to generate more.
Parity violation, as this phenomenon is called, came as a shock to theorists, but they were able to compensate for it by incorporating the effects of electric charge into their models.
It is defined by gravity because that is the only way that it interacts it has no electric charge, and does not feel the strong and weak forces that bind atomic nuclei together.
But without him that electric charge was missing from the sword-like pointing of the cue, and from the click of the White propelling perfectly to the pocket the Blue, the Pink and the Black.
Made of a material known as polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), this belt produces an electric charge whenever low-speed airflow passes over it and causes it to vibrate -- a result of that vaunted piezoelectric effect.
ENGADGET: Piezoelectric system turns your balmy breath into pungent power
This machine shatters tiny amounts of a sample into its component atoms, ionises those atoms in order to give them an electric charge, and then uses that charge to attract the atoms along a tube.
Electric and natural gas utilities that provide partial (or full) service to consumers are heavily regulated by government agencies, which set the price utilities charge customers for electric and gas service, the terms of that service, capital budgets and construction plans and so forth.
