Electric Car Guy All about electric cars, electric vehicles, and clean energy.

Electric Vehicle Facts: The first electric vehicle charging station was built in the 1800s, around the same time as the first electric car.

In 1884, Thomas Parker, the inventor of the first practical electric car, built the first electric vehicle charging station in London, England. This was around the same time as the invention of the first electric car. Parker's charging station used a basic charging method, and it was capable of charging several electric cars at once. This was a groundbreaking innovation that paved the way for the future of electric transportation.

President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.'s administration will prioritize energy security and renewable energy in 2023

Ensuring unhampered energy supply, use of renewable energy, top priorities of PBBM admin in 2023

Ensuring an unhampered supply of energy alongside the promotion and utilization of renewable energy sources are top priorities of the administration of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., in an aggressive bid to realize a sufficient and clean energy supply in the future.

Based on the administration’s year-end report, the Department of Energy’s (DOE) major plans for 2023 include updating the Philippine Energy Plan, pursuing contingency measures and activities to ensure energy supply during critical periods, and pushing for the continued development of alternative fuel and improving access to electricity.

The DOE, in collaboration with the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC), is also set to develop the policy and framework for new and emerging renewable energy (RE) technologies. These include offshore wind, waste-to-energy, expanded rooftop solar program, as well as ocean and tidal stream energy.

To meet the target of 35 percent renewable energy (RE) share in the country’s power generation mix by 2030 and 50 percent by 2040, the Marcos administration has increased Investments in RE projects.

The executive department reported that from July 1 to December 14, 2022, the DOE awarded 41 RE service contracts with a potential capacity of 9.2 gigawatts (GW).

Of which, around 6.2 GW of equivalent capacity will come from offshore wind (OSW) service contracts.

The DOE also issued 18 Certificates of Award to the winning bidders of the 1st Green Energy Auction Program (GEAP), with an aggregate capacity of 1,866.93 megawatts (MW).

To encourage more investors to develop and utilize RE, the DOE increased the annual percentage of Renewable Portfolio Standards for on-grid areas from 1 percent to 2.52 percent beginning 2023 and started preferential dispatch of all RE-generating units in the Wholesale Electricity Spot Market (WESM).

The DOE also allowed 100 percent foreign capital in RE projects by amending the implementing rules and regulations (IRR) of the RE Act that had previously limited foreign ownership of RE projects to 40 percent.

Further, the DOE has endorsed to the Office of the President a draft Executive Order that would strengthen and rationalize the regulatory framework for the immediate development of the OSW.

Also this year, the DOE made continued energy resource development, initiated the development of alternative fuels and implemented the government’s Energy Resiliency Compliance Plan.

On December 14, 2022, the DOE launched the National Energy Contingency Plan (NECP) for “The Big One,” aimed at crafting harmonized multi-sectoral contingency plans and disaster response measures from energy stakeholders.

At the same time, the DOE and National Power Corp. (NPC) will undertake its renewable energy development program, including the hybridization of diesel generating facilities, considering that 89 percent of the energy generation and capacity mix in off-grid areas came from oil-based sources.

The use of nuclear power is also an important part of the energy mix that the DOE is eyeing.

The DOE will update the existing Nuclear Road Map to guide both the Nuclear Energy Program Implementing Organization (NEPIO) and the Nuclear Energy Program Inter-Agency Committee (NEP-IAC) in addressing the challenges of the country’s nuclear energy program.

Honda CEO Says Solid-State Batteries Are Crucial for Electric Type R Cars

Our full review of the 2023 Honda Civic Type R is coming soon, as we're finally getting out long-awaited shot at a proper test later this month. Until then, you can enjoy this tiny taste of Honda's latest hot hatch as Formula 1 driver Sergio Perez recently shuttled staff writer Chris Rosales around the track before letting him take the wheel. However, as it's the case with most gasoline-powered performance vehicles nowadays, one can't help but wonder if this will be the Type R's last hurrah before switching to battery power for good. During a recent interview with Honda CEO Toshihiro Mibe and Managing Officer Shinji Aoyama in Tokyo, it was made clear that the recipe to replicate the soul of Type R in electric form isn't ready just yet.

When I asked Honda's two top executives how far battery technology was from recreating the lightweight, fun-to-drive, and affordable nature of Type R cars, both pointed directly at solid-state batteries.

"The solid-state battery will make the weight lighter," Aoyama told The Drive. "As far as how soon we can do that? It's difficult to respond." Mibe then chimed in, explaining the crucial role this battery tech will play. "For example, a characteristic of solid-state batteries is that they don't easily overheat, meaning that the cooling systems for these [performance] electric vehicles can be simplified in terms of size and weight," said Mibe

"Compared to current EV batteries, this would help reduce the weight and would be effective for Type R and motorcycle applications as well. In the future, solid-state batteries will be the center for electric cars and motorcycles that have soul," added the CEO.

While not claiming that an electric Type R won't happen without solid-state batteries, Mibe and Ayoyama sound confident that said battery technology would allow these cars to remain as true as possible to their original characters. If battery size and weight can be greatly reduced, it leaves price as the hurdle to clear before mastering the Type R sauce. And that, too, is currently in the works.

Honda is launching a pilot production line in Spring 2024 to the tune of 43 billion yen (approx. $300 million), which will focus purely on the development and mass production of solid-state batteries. The project will take place in Japan at the automaker's Sakura research facility, and will be the first great exercise at scaling up the production of what is so far an extremely complex component. These will reportedly be proprietary batteries, too, and won't be initially shared with other automakers. Pricing for these batteries is expected to drop as manufacturing ramps up.

A Type R, first and foremost, is known for its soul, per se. That ragged, feisty, angry economy-car-that-could that legions of fans have come to love. Can an electric car have soul? That's the question I asked Aoyama, who is in charge of the company's electrification strategy. He quickly responded, "yes, of course." His boss, meanwhile, offered a slightly longer explanation that circumvented a yes or no answer, but shared that "it won't be a Honda or Acura product if it is not fun to drive."

"Right now we are developing a lot of different technologies, and we are looking into what direction would help us develop electric cars with soul," Mibe told The Drive. "Of course, it will take some time until this direction is clear, and then we will need some time to develop these technologies. For example, if we want to come up with a sports car or sporty car, we may combine elements from various technologies, like from a family car or a different application [Civic Type R is still a four-door hatchback, after all), and this will give us [well-rounded] exciting electric vehicles with soul. It won't be a Honda or Acura product if it is not fun to drive."

The electrification of halo vehicles can also pose yet another problem to OEMs, given that it can be difficult to make an electric Honda feel like a Type R, just like Mercedes-Benz has had to do with the electric AMGs.

At this stage in the EV era, it's not easy right now to differentiate a battery and e-axle product [from another]. A high voltage, high power battery combined with an innovating e-axle may provide Honda with exciting products—amazing products in the future," said Aoyama.

"Honda's selling points have been engines and manual transmissions, but from now on, we would like to be able to come up with technology that gives it that Honda fun-to-drive aspect in the age of electrification," said Mibe. "We actually do have a test vehicle already in this segment, that we believe is fun to drive and can compare to a six-speed manual transmission vehicle."

The executives did not reveal what this fun-to-drive electric prototype vehicle was, but we do know that an electric Acura ZDX Type S is already confirmed to be in the works.

Scientist Might Have Cracked 10-Minute Electric Car Charging

A team of experts might have figured out how to make super-fast-charging electric car batteries a reality.

Ask pretty much anyone why they aren’t considering buying an electric car in the year of our lord 2022, and they’ll probably tell you it’s because of the charging times. Sure, top EVs from the likes of Lucid and Ford can cover more than 200 miles per charge, which is comparable with the amount of miles you’ll get between refills of your gas-powered motor.

But, when the time comes to stop and top up, a refill in a regular car takes five minutes, where an EV recharge can take much, much longer.

Take Ford’s Mustang mach-E, for example. At a dedicated, DC fast-charging station, Ford says it will take 45 minutes to go from 10 percent charge up to 80. If you’re charging at a 240v outlet at home, a full recharge is more likely to exceed 14 hours on the fast Ford.

Things move up a notch if you’re a Tesla owner and have access to its supercharger network. Then, the company says you’ll be able to add an extra 200 miles of range with a 15-minute recharge.

But now, Time.com reports that a group of American scientists have gone one better with a new battery construction that can charge from flat to 70 percent in roughly ten minutes.

According to Time:
“Researchers at Penn State University published a study in Nature revealing they have developed an EV battery that, crucially, can charge up to about 70% capacity in roughly 10 minutes.

“The technology can work for any size of battery, but perhaps the biggest benefit is that it will enable automakers to sell EVs with smaller batteries without triggering consumers’ range anxiety.”

The new tech is all about regulating the temperature inside a battery while it charges. If the temperature drops, the rate of recharge is much lower.

To get around this problem, the team led by professor Chao-Yang Wang experimented by placing thin sheets of nickel foil inside the cells. The nickel helps maintain an interior temperature of 176 Fahrenheit to help “them to absorb electricity more efficiently – without, of course, overheating the battery and creating a fire risk.”

The faster-charging batteries have been in development since 2017 and now that the research behind their creation has been published, the team hope to put them into production soon.

If the technology proves viable for the automotive space, it would mean that smaller, lighter EVs could go into production requiring fewer raw materials to build their batteries. This could lower their cost and impact on the environment.

Kawasaki Goes Electric With Ambitious New Model Plans

All bikes are to be electric or hybrid-power in developed markets by 2035.

At the start of October, Kawasaki officially reformed its motorcycle business—previously called “Kawasaki Heavy Industries Motorcycle & Engine”—into a new company simply called Kawasaki Motors, and now the firm has revealed its plans for the coming years, which include a wholesale shift toward electric and hybrid vehicles.

At a presentation in Japan, where it also revealed the much-anticipated hybrid bike prototype and showed the latest iteration of the electric sportbike project that was first shown in 2019, Kawasaki revealed that by 2035 all major models sold in developed countries will be either battery electric vehicles (BEVs) or hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs).

While 2035 might still seem a long way off, the first step of the process is much closer: The company promises to launch “more than 10″ electric or hybrid bikes by 2025—little more than three years from now. The same pattern is to be adopted for the firm’s four-wheelers, with five electric or hybrid production models due by 2025.

In terms of actual bikes, the only sight yet of an electric Kawasaki is the prototype that the firm first revealed in 2019, which was shown again at the firm’s new presentation, albeit with some new graphics. As we explained last year, it’s part of a project that’s been underway for at least a decade, and while it’s sure to have given Kawasaki plenty of insight and experience with electric bikes, it probably shouldn’t be considered a reliable indication of the design or specification of a future production model.

The new electric and hybrid bike onslaught doesn’t mean we’re about to see the end of combustion-engine Kawasakis. The company plans to go on a new model offensive over the next few years, simultaneously working on hydrogen-power ideas to develop ultralow-emissions combustion engines that could give a new lease on life to the tech that’s been at the heart of motorcycling since the very start.

For the road-going motorcycle range, Kawasaki’s plan is to launch an average of 16 new models per year by 2025, including gasoline-powered machines, hybrids, and electric bikes. Off-road, the firm will also develop a BEV and HEV range, but in the meantime is planning to launch 15 new off-road models, presumably mainly using conventional gasoline engines, by 2025. In terms of four-wheelers, the plan is again to adopt BEV/HEV tech and to be launching an average of eight new models per year by 2025.

The company has also reiterated its intention to continue to create high-end, high-priced bikes, with the Ninja 1000-powered KB4 expected to be revealed imminently as the first full-production model since Kawasaki took a 49.9 percent stake in Bimota in 2019.

Amid all this, Kawasaki has also officially adopted the River Mark logo, which has been used on the supercharged H2 models since their launch in 2015 as its new corporate identity. A stylized version of the Japanese character meaning river, the mark dates back to the firm’s earliest days as the Kawasaki Tsukiji Shipyard, formed in 1878. The mark will be used across all Kawasaki Heavy Industries’ products, including those from the newly formed/restructured Kawasaki Motors.

Toyota is now making a significant investment in electric vehicles.

Toyota Triples US EV investment in North Carolina

Toyota said Wednesday it will triple its planned investment for its first U.S. battery factory due to rising consumer demand for electric vehicles.

The automaker now plans to spend $3.8 billion, up from the initial $1.3 billion announced, to build a plant near Greensboro, North Carolina. Toyota Battery Manufacturing North Carolina is expected to begin producing batteries for hybrid and battery-electric vehicles in 2025.

The additional funding brings Toyota’s global investment to $5.6 billion as it aims to go carbon-neutral by 2035.

Automakers have staged a land grab across the country this month, announcing multibillion-dollar battery projects slated to begin bearing fruit by the middle of the decade. The cadence of declarations has accelerated since Congress passed the Inflation Reduction Act, which provides incentives and tax credits for EV manufacturers.

On Monday, Honda announced a $4.4 billion joint venture with LG Energy Solutions to make batteries for its North American EVs. The company didn’t say where the factory will be located, but analysts think it will be near Honda’s North American headquarters in Ohio or a state such as Alabama offering attractive incentives to locate there.

Panasonic, which announced plans in July to build a $4 billion battery plant in Kansas that will manufacture and supply lithium-ion batteries to EV makers, said last week that it’s eyeing Oklahoma as a site for a second factory.

Something like this could be built in Tagaytay or Baguio.

World's First Commercial Electric Plane Completes Point-to-point Flight

An aviation company at the cutting edge of electrified air travel has taken a significant step forward, completing a first-of-a-kind test flight using a retrofitted seaplane. Harbour Air's De Havilland Beaver completed a short hop from the Canadian mainland to Vancouver Island using its all-electric drivetrain, demonstrating the viability of its cleaner approach to short-haul flights.

Harbour Air is the largest seaplane airline in North America and claims to transport around half a million passengers across 30,000 commercial flights each year. In 2019, it pledged to become the world's first all-electric airline, a bold vision that involves retrofitting its fleet of existing six-seater seaplanes with electric propulsion systems.

These systems come via a partnership with electric motor company MagniX, which is making important advances with its high-power electric motors and has partnered with other ambitious companies in the aviation space.

In December of 2019, the modified De Havilland Beaver took off to complete the first successful flight of an all-electric commercial aircraft, a brief jaunt above the Fraser River at Harbour Air's terminal in Richmond, British Columbia. The company has since continued this testing program with an eye to certifying and approving the aircraft with the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Transport Canada.

Last week, on August 17, the company's electric aircraft completed its first point-to-point test flight, in what might resemble a future commercial service. The plane took off at 8:12 am from its Fraser River Terminal and landed at Patricia Bay on Vancouver Island 24 minutes later, completing a 45-mile (72-km) journey purely on electricity, with ample power reportedly leftover.

“I am excited to report that this historic flight on the ePlane went exactly as planned” said Kory Paul, Harbour Air’s Vice President of Flight Operations and one of the company’s test Pilots. “Our team as well as the team at magniX and Transport Canada are always closely monitoring the aircraft’s performance and today’s flight further proved the safety and reliability of what we have built."

Doe To Conduct Series of Public Consultations for Electric Vehicle Industry Development Act - IRR

Consistent with the government's policy to enhance energy security thru fuel diversification, the Department of Energy Philippines (DOE) is conducting a series of public consultations to develop a blueprint that would provide a comprehensive and coordinated policy direction among national agencies to accelerate the development, commercialization, and utilization of electric vehicles (EVs).

The enactment of Republic Act No. 11697, also known as the Electric Vehicle Industry Development Act (EVIDA), provides a national policy framework to develop the electric vehicle industry in the Philippines.
Under Section 30 of the EVIDA, the DOE, together with the Department of Transportation - Philippines (DOTr) and other relevant National Government Agencies (NGAs), are mandated to develop the Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) of the said Act.

The series of public consultations on the development of the EVIDA-IRR are scheduled on the following dates:
• 19 August 2022 – Nationwide/ 1st Public Consultation (Virtual)
• 23 August 2022 – Luzon/NCR Cluster
• 25 August 2022 – Visayas/ Mindanao Cluster
• 31 August 2022 – Nationwide/ Plenary

EVIDA seeks to incentivize the adoption of electric vehicles and charging stations in the country. It mandates a 5% EV share in corporate and government fleets, provision of dedicated parking slots, installation of charging stations in parking lots and gasoline stations, green routes, and provision of fiscal and non-fiscal incentives for EV manufacturing, and importation of charging station.

“As we transition to a sustainable low-carbon future, this is the right time to sit down together and gather our thoughts and ideas to help the transportation sector reduce its dependence on imported oil, especially amidst the volatility of fuel prices”, Energy Utilization Management Bureau Director Patrick T. Aquino said.

“It is also expected that with the mass adoption of EVs, a new industry will blossom, high-value jobs will be generated, and more investments will come in,” he further said.

The EVIDA-IRR is targeted to be promulgated on 08 September 2022.

CCS1 - Combined Charging System (CCS) is a standard for charging electric vehicles using two extra DC connectors. The terms CCS1, CCS Combo 1, or CCS Type 1 are used to refer to plugs that utilize Type 1 connectors. It is common in the US and enables charging at up to 350 kW.

CCS2 - Combined Charging System (CCS) is a standard for charging electric vehicles using two extra DC connectors. The terms CCS2, CCS Combo 2, or CCS Type 2 are used to refer to plugs that utilize Type 2 connectors. It is common in Europe and enables charging at up to 350 kW.

NEDC - New European Driving Cycle. Range testing standard established in the 1980s to measure a vehicle's range, assess the emission level of car, and fuel economy. NEDC is old and outdated and was replaced by WLTP system (European standard) in 2017.

SMC to begin building P27.96-B EV battery plant in Dinagat by September 2022

San Miguel Corporation’s (SMC) involvement in transport isn’t just limited to roads, trains, and vehicle distributorship anymore—the company is now set to invest big in a plant that will manufacture batteries for electric vehicles.

Dinagat Islands governor Nilo Demerey Jr. confirmed that SMC is now set to build a new $500 million (P27.962 billion) EV battery plant in the province. SMC will begin construction of the facility by September this year, he added.

“This is part of our efforts to industrialize Dinagat Islands and create more job opportunities, increase the income of the province, and uplift the lives of our people,” said Demerey.

The plant will be built within SMC’s mining claim in the province, and will reportedly help generate 10,000 jobs. “We are now working on the necessary documents and pertinent papers for the start of the construction of the plant in September,” Demerey added.

No word yet on when the plant is targeted for completion, but once it’s up and running, we can expect it to give the local automotive industry a big boost in its push toward electrification.
