Het Dilemma | De elektrische zonneauto: standaard van de toekomst of gimmick?

Is iedere elektrische auto die over 20 jaar op de markt komt, uitgerust met zonnecellen? Solar Magazine legt dit dilemma voor aan hoogleraar Maarten Steinbuch: ‘De helft is ook al mooi.’

Maarten Steinbuch is hoogleraar Systeem- & Regeltechniek aan de Technische Universiteit Eindhoven. Onder zijn faculteit Werktuigbouwkunde valt ook het Automotive Lab. Dat richt zich onder andere op aandrijftechniek, autonoom rijden en het creëren van computermodellen voor het ondersteunen van ontwerpkeuzes aangaande de combinatie batterijen en motoren. Hij was lid van het Formule E-team dat in Nederland de uitrol van elektrische voertuigen aanjaagt, en is ambassadeur van fabrikant van zonneauto’s Lightyear. Als er een deskundige op het gebied van elektrische mobiliteit en laden nodig is, bijvoorbeeld voor een tv-programma of artikel, dan gaat bij hem al snel de telefoon over.

De toekomst van geïntegreerde zonnecellen, bijvoorbeeld in gebouwen en infrastructuur, is groot. Vooralsnog blijft het echter grotendeels bij een belofte. Hoe zit dat met voertuigen; is iedere elektrische auto die over 20 jaar op de markt komt, uitgerust met zonnecellen?
‘Ik denk niet iedere auto. Het is een mooie technologie, maar de winst in actieradius is beperkt. Zo’n systeem kan je hier in Nederland per jaar gemiddeld 12.000 extra kilometers opleveren, op een zonnige dag ergens tussen de 30 en 60 kilometer. Dat maakt het tot een zinvolle range extender, maar meer ook niet.’

Het zorgt wel voor duurzame energie in je batterijen. Bovendien, als je in grote getallen denkt, word het stroomnet ontlast door minder laden…
‘Bij heel veel laadpalen maak je via de provider gebruik van groene stroom. Bovendien is het in Nederland vaak eenvoudiger om gebruik te maken van de opwek van zonne-energie thuis. Ik raad iedereen die een elektrische auto koopt altijd aan ook zonnepanelen aan te schaffen, of er een paar bij te leggen. Wat betreft netbelasting; we gaan straks allemaal elektrisch rijden. Massaal gelijktijdig grote vermogens uit het stroomnet trekken is niet gewenst. Elektrische zonneauto’s kunnen net als andere elektrische auto’s middels smart charging een bijdrage leveren aan een betere netbelasting. Ook voor stationaire opslagsystemen zoals thuisbatterijen verwacht ik een belangrijke rol.’

We hebben het over marginale technologie?
‘Absoluut niet. De wereld is groot. Er zijn heel veel plekken waar de zon veel schijnt en de net- en laadinfrastructuur zeer beperkt is, bijvoorbeeld in het Midden-Oosten, Afrika en India. De elektrische zonneauto is daar naar mijn mening van zeer grote toegevoegde waarde. Massaal laadpalen uitrollen is heel duur, en je komt daar in principe verder met behulp van de zonnecellen op je auto. En bovendien creëer je lokale elektriciteitsproductie, zonder extra zonnepanelen te hoeven plaatsen. Dit zie ik dan ook als de grote markt voor een bedrijf zoals Lightyear.’

En Sono Motors uit Duitsland…
‘Dat is de andere partij die pioniert in deze technologie, in ieder geval wat betreft het ontwikkelen van een personenauto met een volledig geïntegreerd zonne-energiesysteem. Daarbij moeten kanttekeningen worden gemaakt. Wat Lightyear doet, is indrukwekkend. Het gaat allemaal over range, zo min mogelijk laden dus. De zonnecellen zijn daarvoor van belang, maar niet de doorslaggevende factor. De auto is licht, er wordt gebruikgemaakt van 2 of 4 elektromotoren in de wielen en de luchtweerstand is ongelofelijk laag… Dat draagt allemaal bij aan de totale efficiency. De Sion van Sono Motors is een heel ander verhaal, alleen al omdat het een vierkant bakkie wordt. Daar gaat mijn hart niet sneller van kloppen.’

De elektrische zonneauto wordt dus niet de standaard op de Nederlandse wegen, de grote automerken gaan er niet in investeren?

‘Dat is niet gezegd. Er zijn 2 factoren van belang voor de absolute doorbraak van de elektrische auto. De eerste is prijs. Het moet straks mogelijk zijn om er een voor 8.000 euro te kopen, zeg maar een Renault Twingo, die 400 kilometer per laadbeurt haalt. Wat betreft innovatie is batterijtechnologie leidend. Als de solid state batterij haar belofte waarmaakt en een auto daarmee 2 keer zo ver komt als nu, dan wordt de aanschaf een no-brainer. Maar alle betaalbare technologie die toegevoegde waarde heeft voor de range is kansrijk. Vergeet ook niet de emotionele waarde van zonnecellen op het autodak: het geeft een gevoel van autonomie en goed bezig zijn. Het zal dus hier wellicht niet de standaard worden, maar de helft is ook al mooi.’

Vattenfall InCharge to Set Up 4000 EV Charger in Netherland

Strategic Research Institute
Published on :
25 Feb, 2022, 5:30 am

Vattenfall InCharge, together with partners, will install a minimum of 4,000 charging points during three years in 67 municipalities in the Dutch provinces Gelderland and Overijssel. Placement is largely proactive, before the need arises, and based on an algorithm. Vattenfall InCharge places the proactive charging points based on a predictive algorithm. In addition, Vattenfall InCharge will also provide charging solutions on request and on the basis of usage data. If an electric car driver does not have the possibility to charge close by, it is possible to request a charging point nearby if no, or only a very busy charging station, is present.

The InCharge network was introduced in 2016 by Vattenfall. It has today more than 30 000 connected charging points in northern Europe and provides drivers of electric cars with access to many more charge points through roaming agreements. With this new agreement, with the provinces of Gelderland and Overijssel, the installation work is planned more efficiently and the possibility to drive electric carelessly will increase significantly in the Netherlands.

The proactive placement of charging points is based on a model from Royal Haskoning DHV, an international engineering consultancy firm. This model determines the load requirement in an area with a radius of 250 meters via an algorithm.

Vattenfall is also installing a total of 8,000 charging points in the two provinces North Brabant and Limburg.

Strategic Research Institute
Published on :
02 Mar, 2022, 5:30 am

Signing of a contract for the delivery of 32 new Solaris e-buses has taken place. Along with the vehicles, the manufacturer will provide the requisite charging infrastructure. The commissioned 12- and 18-metre Urbino electric buses will make their way to carriers from the cities of Gliwice, Katowice, Sosnowiec, and Swierklaniec in 2023.

Solaris Urbino electric buses make a real and lasting contribution to improving the quality of life in towns and cities. The vehicles stand out due to their quietness and lack of local emissions. Following worldwide trends, GZM Metropolis (an association of municipalities in the Silesia region) has opted for Solaris e-buses along with charging infrastructure, i.e. 11 pantograph chargers and 16 plug-in chargers. In line with the contract signed, the GZM Metropolis will welcome 27 Urbino 12 electric and 5 articulated Urbino 18 electric vehicles in 2023. Apart from providing charging devices, the manufacturer has also committed to carrying out a full package of turnkey e-mobility solutions comprising designing work, securing a permit for land development, project supervision on behalf of the investor and setting up the necessary charging infrastructure.

The vehicles to be delivered to GZM Metropolis will be powered by Solaris High Energy batteries with a total capacity of 250 kWh in the Urbino 12 electric buses and of 400 kWh in the case of the Urbino 18 electric units. They will be recharged both by means of a pantograph and plug-in technology. The drive in both vehicle types will consist of traction motors integrated with a drive axle.

Thanks to air-conditioning, which will maintain a constant pre-programmed temperature in the passenger compartment, passengers will enjoy a comfortable ride regardless of the weather conditions outside. The Urbino 12 interiors will fit at least 80 people and the Urbino 18 electric buses will have room for at least 115 passengers. A spacious area for the simultaneous transport of a wheelchair and a pram/pushchair or a bike has also been envisaged. To top it all, the buses will also be equipped with illuminated USB charging ports for mobile devices.

An even safer journey will be ensured by a data recording system for bus and driver performance as well as a driver alcohol detection system. The ordered buses will also be fitted with an automatic fire extinguishing system. They will also feature a passenger counting system and an enclosed driver cabin to separate the driver from passengers, a very useful solution in the midst of a pandemic. As standard, there will be a CCTV system on board to monitor the passenger compartment as well as the road around the bus.

Topman Carlos Tavares van autobouwer Stellantis:
’Transitie naar elektrisch rijden maakt alle auto’s fors duurder’
Door GERT VAN HARSKAMP

Updated Gisteren, 21:52
Gisteren, 21:05
in FINANCIEEL

ZAANSTAD - Auto’s zullen door de transitie naar elektrisch rijden fors duurder worden. Het ligt aan de overheden in hoeverre een auto ook voor iedereen betaalbaar wordt. „Ook wij zullen onze prijzen verhogen. De mate van vrijheid van mobiliteit is in handen van de politiek.”

Stellantis-topman Carlos Tavares FOTO ANP/HH

Dat zei topman Carlos Tavares van autobouwer Stellantis dinsdag tijdens zijn presentatie van de langetermijnstrategie van de statutair in Nederland gevestigde onderneming. Dit eerste strategisch plan van het onlangs ontstane fusiebedrijf van Peugeot Citroën- (PSA) en Fiat Chrysler (FCA) werd uit de doeken gedaan op het Hembrugterrein in Zaanstad, een stuk industrieel erfgoed langs het Noordzeekanaal.

Door de enorme investeringen die de autobouwers moeten doen in elektrificatie en digitalisering ontkomen autobouwers er volgens Tavares niet aan om de prijzen van nieuwe auto’s op te schroeven. „Ook wij zullen de prijzen verhogen. Hoeveel? Dat weet ik niet, dat hangt onder meer af van de ontwikkeling van de grondstofkosten. Maar wij doen ons best om de auto voor zoveel mogelijk mensen betaalbaar te houden.”

Keuzes
Of automobiliteit daadwerkelijk bereikbaar blijft voor zoveel mensen, hangt volgens de Portugese topman van ’s werelds derde grote autofabrikant vooral af van politieke keuzes. „Europese landen halen jaarlijks zo’n €150 miljard op aan belastinginkomsten uit autorijden, onder meer op brandstof. Wat er dadelijk gebeurt bij de overgang naar elektrisch ligt aan de politiek.”

BEKIJK OOK:
Autobouwers steken miljarden in ’jacht op de batterij’

Tavares, die als topman van PSA het bedrijf in 2014 van de ondergang heeft gered, zit nu als eerste ceo van Stellantis ook boordevol ambitie. Zo moet de omzet in 2030 uitkomen om €300 miljard, een verdubbeling ten opzichte van de €152 miljard in het eerste fusiejaar 2021. En afgelopen jaar was de omzet al 14% hoger dan de gezamenlijke omzet in het jaar voor de fusie.

Een kwart van de omzet zal in 2030 van buiten de thuismarkten West-Europa en de Verenigde Staten moeten komen. Waar Tavares een paar maanden geleden nog stellig zei dat Opel Rusland moet veroveren, is hij wat dat betreft nu terughoudender. Stellantis heeft een bestelbusjes-fabriek in Kaloega, zo’n 200 kilometer ten zuidwesten van Moskou. „Wij veroordelen al het geweld en commiteren ons aan de regels”, zegt Tavares. „Als er sancties zijn, houden we ons eraan. Nu merken we de situatie vooral in de aanvoer van materialen.”

Winstgevendheid
Daarnaast moet de winstgevendheid fors omhoog door onder meer de komende acht jaar 40% te snijden in de productie van elektrische auto’s en transformatie- en distributiekosten. Stellantis wil over twee jaar €5 miljard besparingen gaan halen op synergiekosten. Die verdiensten uit de samensmelting van FCA en PSA lagen overigens afgelopen jaar reeds op €3,2 miljard. Die nieuwe besparingen worden onder meer bereikt door productielijnen nog verder te integreren.

BEKIJK OOK:
’Automobilist betaalt te veel bij laadpaal’

De kritiek van analisten dat Stellantis met veertien merken, waaronder naast de hoofdmerken ook onder meer Opel, Jeep, Dodge, Alfa Romeo en Maserati, te veel merken voert, werpt Tavares ver van zich. „Sommigen zeggen dat wij te veel merken hebben, maar wij zeggen dat we voor elke consument een auto maken.”

In plaats van snijden in het portfolio, lanceert Stellantis tussen 2022 en 2030 honderd nieuwe modellen. In Europa is dan alles batterij-aangedreven. In de Verenigde Staten moet in 2038 elke nieuwe auto een stekkerauto zijn en dan wil Stellantis ook de hele productie CO2-neutraal hebben.

Het concern investeert komende drie jaar €30 miljard in de hele transitie. Een groot deel daarvan gaat naar de bouw van batterijfabrieken. Het bedrijf wil in 2030 vijf gigafabrieken gerealiseerd hebben, verdeeld over Europa en de Verenigde Staten. Stellantis heeft daarvoor een samenwerkingsovereenkomst met Samsung, LG en ACC.

Ook Ionity biedt gratis laden aan in buurlanden Oekraïne
Max Veldhuis 2 uur geleden

Na Tesla gooit ook Ionity zijn snellaadpunten in buurlanden van Oekraïne gratis open voor iedereen. Alle laadstations in Polen, Slowakije en Hongarije zijn tijdelijk gratis te gebruiken.

© Aangeboden door AutoWeek
De actie van Ionity loopt in ieder geval gedurende de hele maand maart. Daarmee volgt Ionity Tesla, dat eergisteren al zijn superchargers in geselecteerde gebieden in Polen, Slowakije en Hongarije gratis open stelde. In tegenstelling tot Tesla zijn alle snelladers van Ionity in die landen gratis te gebruiken. Ionity wil daarmee niet alleen vluchtelingen uit Oekraïne steunen, maar ook de mensen in de omringende landen die hen helpen. Heel veel snelladers zijn er overigens nog niet in de regio. In het westen van Polen heeft Ionity zeven snellaadstations, in Slowakije staat er eentje bij Bratislava en in Hongarije staan er vier in de regio rondom Boedapest.

Het is de eerste keer dat Ionity, eigendom van onder meer BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Hyundai, Ford en de Volkswagen Group, zo'n actie opzet. Tesla deed dat eerder al bij de overstromingen in Duitsland, België en Limburg. Ionity is momenteel ook een stuk minder groot dan het Supercharger-netwerk van Tesla, maar daarin moet verandering komen. Rond 2025 wil de laadexploitant zo'n 7.000 snelladers hebben. Momenteel heeft Ionity 407 locaties met in totaal 1.641 snelladers.

Thanks to their extremely quiet operation and no local emissions, the buses have become increasingly popular among European carriers. The framework agreement is yet another agreement for hydrogen buses concluded between Österreichische Postbus AG und Solaris. The previous contract signed in February 2021 assumed, among other things, the delivery of up to 40 Solaris Urbino 12 hydrogen buses.

The energy that powers the hydrogen buses is generated by 70 kW fuel cells. Electricity, produced via reverse electrolysis, is transferred directly to the driveline, consisting of an axle with electric motors. The sole by-products generated during this process are heat and steam. The hydrogen needed to propel the bus will be stored in gaseous form in five tanks with a total volume of 1560 litres, mounted on the bus’s roof. Additionally, every ordered vehicle will be equipped with a Solaris High Power battery.

The contract also provides for the possibility to purchase Urbino 9 LE electric buses, the youngest member of the electric Solaris family, which was launched in September 2021. This versatile model has been designed in such a way that it can be adapted for class I or class II type approval. Thus, the bus provides an excellent link between the urban and suburban road networks. Thanks to its compact dimensions, the vehicle will perform excellently on steep climbs and on tight mountain bends in Austria. These 9-metre buses will be equipped with a central electric motor. The propulsion system will be powered by energy derived from a set of Solaris High Energy batteries with a total capacity of about 280 kWh, and the spacious interior will take at least 65 passengers. The modernised design in the rear of the bus provides more headroom, which will enhance the quality of the journey.

09 Mar, 2022, 5:30 am

Scania will supply at least 78 fully electric L-series trucks, with an additional 23 trucks as optional, to Amager Resource Center for urban waste handling in the Copenhagen region. The first two trucks were already delivered in December 2021. The fleet of electric trucks, producing zero tailpipe emissions, will contribute to improved air quality and reduced noise for residents of the Danish capital region. The low-entry L-series cabs, most also featuring the Scania City Door, will improve the working conditions for drivers and crews with their ergonomics and driver comfort, optimised for urban transport operations that include frequent stops.

The order includes at least 72 refuse collector trucks (with an additional 19 as optional), six box-body trucks (with an additional four as optional), as well as one hooklift truck (with a second as optional), and includes repair and maintenance contracts for 8-10 years.

The first two fully electric L-series trucks were delivered in December 2021, and the rest of the fleet will be delivered throughout 2022 and into the first half of 2023.

Decarbonising waste management and recycling is an important part of Copenhagen’s ambitious goal to become the world’s first carbon-neutral capital city by 2025. ARC’s iconic Amager Bakke waste energy plant, with its rooftop ski slope and recreation area, is a symbol of the city’s sustainable ambitions and ARC aims for it to become the world’s first carbon-neutral waste energy plant.

In Europa moeten we minder afhankelijk worden van olie en gas. De oorlog in Ukraine maakt dit zeer urgent en daarom is de bouw van EV batterijfabrieken in Europa zo belangrijk naar de transitie van elektrische auto's. Het duurt ongeveer 2 jaar voordat een EV batterijfabriek operationeel wordt. De Tesla giga EV batterijfabriek van €5 miljard bij Berlijn is pas eind dit jaar operationeel.

Northvolt to Turn Closed Paper Mill in Sweden into Gigafactory

Strategic Research Institute
Published on :
11 Mar, 2022, 5:30 am

Northvolt and Stora Enso have announced the signing of a letter of intent on a purchase of the Kvarnsveden Mill and the surrounding industrial area in Borlänge in Sweden. Northvolt will develop the site into a manufacturing plant for active material and battery cells, reusing and refurbishing much of the existing facilities and site infrastructure. The gigafactory is expected to start the first part of its operations in late 2024 and will employ up to 1,000 people, utilizing 100 percent clean energy from the region. Fully built out, the site will have a potential annual production capacity of more than 100 GWh of cathode material, which will enable cell assembly at multiple Northvolt facilities. The site will also feature cell production.

Founded in 1900, the mill produced pulp and paper for over 120 years until its closure in 2021, laying off over 400 people. The agreement is the result of a strong commitment by Stora Enso to find the best long-term solution for its former employees and the city of Borlänge. Key managers from the Kvarnsveden site will stay on during a transfer period to best utilize the current infrastructure and enable a swift transformation.

The project advances Northvolt on its mission to deliver the world’s greenest lithium-ion battery and establish a sustainable supply of batteries to enable the decarbonization of society. The factory will play a key role in fulfilling more than USD 50 billion in orders from key customers and joins a wider European production network of facilities being developed together with partners in Sweden, Norway, Poland, Germany and Portugal.
