Engineers at Clemson University are developing next-generation batteries that charge faster, last longer and can be scaled to fit a variety of vehicle classes. The Clemson Nanomaterials Institute (CNI) is working on the project with Atlis Motor Vehicles Inc.
South Bend, home to the University of Notre Dame, has a long history of manufacturing. In the past, the city in northern Indiana hummed with large factories belonging to companies such as Bendix Corp. (automotive and aircraft brakes), Oliver Chilled Plow Works (agricultural equipment) and Studebaker Corp. (cars, trucks and wagons).
One of the stumbling blocks to widespread acceptance of electric vehicles is lack of a recharging infrastructure that’s convenient, easy to use, fast and readily accessible.
"The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind" is a popular lyric from one of Bob Dylan's most famous songs. It's also the central theme behind the Collegiate Wind Competition (CWC), an annual event sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).
