RuAndChris2014 Ecology : Electric Vehicles : Political notes and more

October 2015

FotBlogMouse140Oslo, Norway’s capital, like most of the Scandinavian country’s cities and towns, boasts bus-lane access for electric vehicles (EVs), recharging stations aplenty, privileged parking, and toll-free travel for electric cars. The initiative began in the 1990s as an effort to cut pollution, congestion, and noise in urban centres; now its primary rationale is combating climate change. Today, Norway has the highest per capita number of all-electric [battery only] cars in the world: more than 100,000 in a country of 5.2 million people. Last year, EVs constituted nearly 40% of the nation’s newly registered passenger cars. Norway is the clear electric vehicle pacesetter in Europe, which now has about 500,000 electric vehicles.

And the Norwegian experiment shows every sign of accelerating. Earlier this year, Norway opened the world’s largest fast-charging station, which can charge up to 28 vehicles in about half an hour.

FotBlogMouse140 Hackney Council has installed the first publicly accessible on-street rapid charging posts for electrical vehicles in London, so increasing the charging options of EV users in the capital.
The three units, which are supplied by APT Technologies a leading innovator in EV charging solutions, are the very latest Tri-Rapid Chargers and are located in Shoreditch, Dalston and Hackney Central.

FotBlogMouse140China leads the world in EV usage, with about 600,000 all-electric vehicles on its roads and an ambitious plan to deploy 5m EVs by 2020.

Unusually high winds allowed Denmark to meet all of its electricity needs – with plenty to spare for Germany, Norway and Sweden too

Driving an Electric Car

Most people drive less than 40 miles on a journey, including commuting. So, with a comfortable range for a Leaf of over 80 miles on a full charge and a possible range of rather more than 90, one charge at home, over night, gives enough for the following day's driving.
But there are times we want to drive much further so here is a clip from Chris Ramsay about driving very long distances.

Driving an electric car is so unlike being a petrol head
- it is a way of travelling that is more relaxing even in traffic;
and it is so much quieter, cleaner and very, very economical.
