Corporate Power

 The power when we need it!

What do you think the possibilities are for Corporate Power?

Electricity is 50 percent to 75 percent cheaper than gasoline as a source of vehicle power

Coulomb Technologies

The solution to a 100 year old problem

Ok, so electric cars are great everyone says but how do we go long distance?  That is a question that has been asked for 100 years.  Henry Ford's wife drove an electric car and Thomas Edison drove an electric car and they loved them.  They didn't have a polluting trail of smoke behind them and more importantly they were quiet so they didn't scare off the major traffic at the time which were horses.

So what happened? Why didn't it take on like it could have.  The problem was they couldn't go long distance because there was no charging infrastructure in place.  It was easier and cheaper to go with gasoline.  Well we have gone the distance and look where we have arrived.  A 100 years later we have a world so polluted not even the honeybees can survive.  If we don't turn this around in the next 20 years we will have a planet that can't even produce fruits and vegetables.  Who do you think is going to pollinate them when all the bees are dead?

Global Warming?  The planet has been heating up and cooling off for millions of years before humans showed up.  Our big problem is the pollution we are creating and plastic is just another from of the oil problem that ends up in the food chain on the bottom of the ocean and in our ground.  If we clean up the planet we are home free.  If the pollution caused any global warming that too will be solved with cleaning up the planet.

Thank God we are running out of oil and the price is going up.  Now we have to do something about it.  If you need more information for some motivation that we have to do something then listen to what a billionaire American oil man, T. Boone Pickens, has to say.  Natural gas is a good short term solutions as we move on to cleaner alternatives like wind, solar, geothermal, and others.

The charging stations you see above at Coulomb Technologies are the solution to the 100 year old problem.  These charging stations will be placed everywhere you can possibly think of and you can kiss the gas stations good by.  Who would want to wait at even a power charging station for 10 minutes when you could shop, sleep, eat, or see a movie while your electric car was charging up.  That is the road we are turning on to.  We all sit around and wonder and say, "well what can I do to help us out of all this?"  The sooner we tell business owners we want charging stations at their location the sooner we will get there.  That's what we all can do to help.

I hear people all day long say solar is just too expensive and it will take 10 to 15 years to get a return on my investment just to reduce an electric bill of $100 a month.  Yes, that is true but here is the rest of the story.  Once you start charging your electric car at home and stop going to the gas station you will get your return on investment within 3 to 6 years including the price of the eclectic car.  From that point on the money is going back into your pocket forever!  I spend about $20,000 a year on utilities of which 90% is gasoline.  In four years that's $80,000.  What kind of alternative energy solutions will that buy?  A good chunk of it!

Why do you want to stay on the grid with your solar and wind?  So you can buy low and sell high.  That's how profits have and always will be made.  Sure you will want the option to be off the grid incase the grid goes down so you will have your Personal Power when you need it.  When the grid is up, which is most of the time, you want to sell the extra electricity you generate back to them during the day when rates are high, and buy the electric back to charge your car at night when rates are low so you make a profit and charge your car at the same time.

This concept works perfectly with Coulomb Technologies charging systems for businesses.  Most homes will not need them because they will plug directly into their own system but the concept of buying low and selling high will still work with with your utility company.

That is another thing we can do as individuals.  Tell our utility companies we want more than a break even dollar amount when our meters spin backwards above and beyond our usage.  We want cash back like a number of states already mandate from their utility companies.  All states should be doing this.  We will become the power generators, both home and business, and this will reduce the need for more nuclear and coal burring power plants.  They will purchase from us, mark it up and resell it when an where it's needed.

Corporate Power

As much as we would like to eliminate corporate power we will see that in a world where everyone is included, no one left out, corporate power will be here when we need it.  Corporations will see that we are no longer dependant and powerless.  In turn they will listen to our request, "Provide us with the clean green power and we will pay for it when we need it".

Who would you have to be to play this game?

Everyone Included, No One Left Out!

In a world that everyone is included and no one left out we need corporate power to re-charge our electric cars.  We need it for those long trips where we cannot connect to our personal power source, solar and wind generators, and our standard utility company at home when we need it.

We thought converting all highways to solar power and feeding that back to electric cars would be a good idea.  The problem is who would pay for it?  You and me through increased taxes.  This is not a good idea!

So what are the possible options?  All restaurants, shopping malls, hotels and motels, that see the opportunity will be our future and convenient Corporate Power Stations and we will forever, with a big smile, wave good bye to the gas stations.  Imagine, no more waiting in line at the gas station to pump the ever increasing price of gas.  No more wars fighting over fossil fuels.  What a concept!


Scalable Corporate Power

Imagine you are driving long distance and you are running out of power.  You press your GPS system and up pops the nearest location for a Re-Charge It Power Station, a local restaurant with preferred parking!  You are so smart!  You even have a ZEV parking decal on your windshield, the Parking Pass for the Parking Space.

You pull up to the restaurant and there are the usual handicap parking spaces right up front.  The next best parking spaces are just a few for "Electric Cars" and these spaces are scaleable.  The more you need the more parking spaces you equip for charging cars.  The restaurant marks up their cost of electricity to gain a profit.  Once they install the solar and wind generators their profit greatly increases.  This creates a new income stream for the restaurant and decrease the demand from the utility companies.

You drive into your parking space, plug in your car, take note of the space number, walk into the restaurant.  While you wait for your table you run your credit card through a reader and enter your parking space number.  Your car is fully charged in 10 minutes while your eat.

Now that is service and you have just helped to clean up the environment and end all wars over fossil fuels!  Time to enjoy a good meal.  What car charges in 10 minutes?  Check out the Zap-X or convert the car you currently own at Left Coast Eclectic or a similar company.


Corporate Power Distribution

What corporations, restaurant chains, and shopping malls, and motels will see the opportunity and take action first?  We will be contacting them to see.  Who will sponsor the Personal Power Project to help get "Our Word" out so it begins working for you, me, and the rest of the world?

Bring anyone and everyone to us that is interested in this project and we will promote those companies and locations that take action.  We are looking for volunteers and we will put you through a three month training program that will prepare you for a full time paid position.

We are the clearing house for helping to make it happen and to keep the information coming your way through the Personal Power Project web site.

The human race is not a parasite that will eventually kill this planet.  We are a race that is full of love and compassion and we are making this planet and the universe a truly exciting and better place to live for each new generation, one person and one generation at a time.
 

Where to charge your EV (Electric Vehicle) and the types of connectors used

There are a number of business locations where you can charge your electric vehicle as seen at our links on the left side of this page under "The Parking Spaces".  The type of connectors are a little confusing so we have some explanations below.

Inductive Connector:  This connector is made by Toyota and more information can be seen at the Clean Fuel Connection web site on our left side links.  It is a flat disk on the end of a cable which slips into the front of an electric vehicle.  These are being provide as a free charge station by companies like Costco.  Business owners providing these would have to upgrade them with a 110v standard receptacle for hybrid cars at their own expense.

Conductive Connector:  This connector is a knuckle looking connector which comes on the newer cars like the Tesla Roadster.  You can find charging locations for these on the maps at the left side of this page as well.

110v Connector:  This is your standard 110v three prong plug and receptacle that you find in your home and is being used on most hybrid cars currently being manufactured and sold as of 2007.

The Personal Power Project will be calling business owners that currently do not offer a charging station to the general public and encouraging them to be part of the alternative energy solutions.

From the GM-Volt page

The cost of a KWH from the electric grid varies considerably depending on location and time of use. Usually, off-peak hours, from 9PM to 10AM will have the lowest rates from one’s electric utility provider. This will require a special meter that not all homes have.
energy_map.gif

The map above shows the average retail price of electricity in the U.S. by state in 2003. It ranges from around 6 cents/KWH to 17 cents/KWH. The U.S. average for 2007 is 10.65 cents. To see the numbers for the current year click here. If we use the average, the cost to recharge the Volt will be $0.85, and the range for 2007 will be from 48 cents to $1.34 depending where you live. Clearly for 40 miles of driving at present gas and electric prices, there will be a very significant cost savings. Of course, there is some uncertainty of where these numbers will be when the Volt arrives in 2010.

After the first 40 miles, the combustion engine generator will kick in. This will keep the battery at a 30% state of charge. This 3-cylinder 1L engine will get 50 mpg fuel efficiency. To calculate the fuel efficiency for drives longer than 40 miles use the following formula: Total MPG = 55*M/(M-40)

ENERGY DIVERSITY AND SECURITY

There is also strong energy security value for driving this car. The following graph illustrates where the power of the electric grid comes from:

energy_source.gif

Certainly the renewable sector has room to grow, but overall you can see that coal, of which the U.S. has a tremendous supply, is the main source of electric energy. So in actuality, the Volt is a coal-burning car.

This may dissatisfy certain environmentalists. But widespread adoption of this vehicle will likely lead to increased consumer adoption of home-generated renewable energy such as solar panels, whose prices are dropping and efficiencies are increasing. This will allow one to drive “for free” and be independent.

Silver lining: CARB creates huge new market for plug-in hybrids

Reader reaction to last week's California Air Resources Board vote to cut the ZEV Mandate by 70 percent was pretty resoundingly negative (although it's only fair to note some of you said the result was a good thing). Automotive News' Richard Truett has written an article that finds the decision's silver lining: it created a "sizable" market for plug-in hybrids. While pure EVs took a hit in the revision, automakers are now required to sell 66,000 PHEVs between 2012 and 2014. Considering you can't buy a single one today, this would be a nice change. Truett notes that Chrysler, Honda and Nissan could be face "major headaches" to comply with the rule, since they don't have any PHEVs in development. At least, there are no public plans for such vehicles from these companies. Smart grid PHEV charging technology is here, at least in testing form. What plug-in vehicles will we Californians (and people in the dozen or so states that adopt California's auto rules) be able to buy in 2012?[Source: Richard Truett /...
