Energy Harvesting for Vehicles
Energy harvesting comes to the fore with electric vehicles because the price they pay for being environmental and exhibiting many performance advantages is that they have limited energy available. In and on these vehicles, the energy snatched from heat, light, movement and other sources may be milliwatts or less to drive wireless sensors and actuators, watts for self sufficient lighting clusters (still in development) or – the main focus – up to kilowatts to charge the traction battery or traction supercapacitor that provide motive energy to the electric traction motors.
Secondarily, the traction power storage may also provide other electricity needs such as hard wired lights, climate control and instruments. Reducing any of these loads is welcome. The traction battery of an on-road electric vehicle can be up to half of the total cost of the vehicle – another sensitive issue. If the battery is charged more often in various ways it can often be smaller and cheaper and weigh less – a virtuous circle. IDTechEx examines the use of energy harvesting to charge traction batteries in the new report Energy Harvesting for Electric Vehicles 2011-2021 .
Event: Electric Vehicles Land, Sea & Air USA 2012
Dated: 20.10.11
Event: Electric Vehicles Land, Sea & Air USA 2012
Organiser: IDTechEx (UK)
Dates: 26 – 29 March 2012
Location: DoubleTree Hotel, San Jose, CA, USA
Website: www.IDTechEx.com/evUSA
Background:
Many major breakthroughs in design and technology appear in other electric vehicles before they appear in cars. Whether by land, sea or air, electric vehicles need motors, controls, batteries and often supercapacitors plus advanced structural composites. Up to 785,000 electric cars will be sold worldwide this year, including hybrids. But the total number for all types of EVs sold will be much greater – reaching over 35 million.

Why Gujarat government against promoting e-vehicles?
The Gujarat government might have created a climate change department and chief minister Narendra Modi might have scripted a book on climate change, but when it comes to sale of environment-friendly e-vehicles, the government has done little.
The whopping 14.5 % VAT on electric vehicles has applied brakes on promotion of these vehicles in the state.
All India, Gujarat’s VAT percentage on electric vehicles is highest. While Rajasthan, Punjab and Haryana do not levy any tax on e-bikes and e-cars, Delhi even offers subsidy on such non-polluting vehicles.
Just because of high taxes, electric car, Mahindra Reva, is not sold in Gujarat. “The electric car which is sold in Delhi for around Rs3.5 lakh, is priced at around Rs5 lakh in Ahmedabad. Because of high taxes, this e-car is expensive by almost Rs1.5 lakh in Gujarat.
So we are not interested in selling the non-polluting car at this high price,” said Pavan Sachdeva, GM (marketing), Mahindra Reva.
