In March 2019, the Fremont Police Department began testing a Tesla Model S 85 that was customized for patrol operations. Testing ended one year later, and yesterday, the Fremont Police Department released the test results and emailed them over to CleanTechnica (and surely other media outlets).
In Part 2, we talked about heating hot water with electricity with a goal of supplying 100% of that electricity with solar panels.R
emember, we aren’t trying to cover 100% of instantaneous electricity use with solar PV, just 100% of the average electricity use for the entire year in a grid-connected system without batteries. For example, if you use 11,000kWh of electricity during the entire year, your PV system will need to generate at least that much energy for the year (and hopefully some extra to offset grid losses). We’ll talk about that more in Part 5.

We’ve reviewed a bunch of electric cars here on CleanTechnica over the years. To better highlight these and to also provide an easy place to find them, I’m creating this page. We will be continually update this page as more reviews are conducted. If you are actually interested in reading our thoughts on these cars, or watching the … [continued]

This now leaves the option of only a 70 kWh or a 90 kWh battery pack … [continued]
On numerous occasions, I have wanted to know and share some specs or other info regarding production electric cars and EV batteries but had a hard time finding what I was looking for — either because it was buried on the manufacturer’s site, not on there at all and hard to find in … [continued]
