Electric-powered vehicles and renewable energy
10:00 – 16:00
Electric-powered vehicles and renewable energy:
Be mobile without carbon and atomic power
To be honest, the Otto engine and its fossil fuel was always a poor compromise. Back in 1882, long before automobiles were powered by petroleum derivatives, Werner von Siemens had already developed an electrically powered vehicle. An electric Porsche was shown in 1900, an electric Golf in 1992, and in 1996 General Motors built the EV1.
All the same, it was the oil-guzzlers that won the day. Since then the roads have been full of loud, stinking motor vehicles. How this came to pass is explained in the film “Who Killed the Electric Car?”, which will be screened at the end of this event.
But now there are finally alternatives available!
With the growing realisation that petroleum supplies are finite, and that CO2 emissions from the many exhaust pipes are destroying the earth’s climate, we find that thought is increasingly being given to other methods of powering motor vehicles.
Consumers have been waiting for modern, environmentally friendly cars for years.
At the special electric mobility stand in Hall 3, New Energy Husum is showcasing electric cars that can also be tried out on the test track at the entrance to the fair.
Instead of having to hear from automobile associations and others that we need more nuclear power stations to produce the massive amounts of electricity that all these eCars will need, a number of schemes have been developed that use power from wind, sun and bioenergy plants to power regenerative battery charging stations.
At this event we will be presenting regional, rural and urban transport plans, showing new generation vehicles, and demonstrating how regenerative energy sources are already being used to power cars.
10:00 -11:30
Introduction: 'eE-Mobilität' - renewable energy electromobility – how does it work?
Speaker: Wilfried Bockholt, Chairman AktivRegion Nordfriesland Nord
Little big plants – small wind turbines as wind power filling stations and home power plants
Speaker: Marten Jensen, Managing Director easyWind GmbH
'eE4mobile' – introduction to an electromobility cooperative
Speaker: Peter Bielenberg and NN, eE4mobile eG, Bredstedt
11:30
Presentation of the EasyDrive hybrid production network for the conversion of commercial vehicles to hybrid propulsion
Nine production companies, two research establishments, a technical inspection agency and two end users, who are complementing one another in the value added chain are aiming to develop and market a hybrid motor that can be fitted to commercial vehicles.
Speaker: Dipl.-Ing. Ingo Buck, WTSH – Business Development and Technology Transfer Corporation of Schleswig-Holstein, Kiel
11:45
Electromobility, a good trend – with a sense of proportion
Within the scope of climate protection but also promoted by the German government’s economic stimulus package Konjunkturpaket II – electromobility is a current trend associated with many and great expectations. The expectations are justified, but really must be toned down in some places. The same goes for the prejudices that attempt to invalidate the technical developments from the start. In any event, various industrial sectors in Schleswig-Holstein have the potential to participate in this trend.
Speaker: Dr. Volker Skwarek, LAV GmbH
12:30
Wind goes mobile
The future belongs to electromobility – but only if the electricity comes from renewable sources. As the leading renewable, wind energy is of course the natural partner: it makes electromobility a sustainable, climate friendly and ecologically sensible model for tomorrow’s mobile society.
Speaker: Hermann Albers, vice-president BEE, president BWE, chair BWE-SH
13:00
Electromobility is practicable - components & building sites
An analysis of the required measures and framework:
What is necessary in order to be able to realise electromobility across the board?
Is the current amount of renewable energy we produce enough?
How will this change motoring? Will it be less fun?
What are Park+Charge stations, and what will car park signs look like in the future?
BSM will give unusual and interesting answers to these and other questions.
Speaker: T. Ruschmeyer, Bundesverband Solare Mobilität e.V.
13:30
Potential alternative engines
Vehicles with alternative propulsion represent an answer to mobility challenges.
But due to the limited opportunities to use these vehicles to date, and because of a series of unsolved problems as far as transport, energy and information infrastructure are concerned, as well as a lack of framework it has not been possible to put any solutions on the road that are suitable for everyday use.
But the market for low consumption, environmentally friendly cars is growing fast
Markets, customers and products have changed dramatically in recent years. Eco and green is smart.
We present the car fleet of the future.
Speaker: Sven Strube, managing director Lautlos durch Deutschland GmbH
14:30 -16:00
Documentary film: WHO KILLED THE ELECTRIC CAR?
Who Killed the Electric Car? is a fascinating 2006 documentary that examines the production, limited marketing, and subsequent secret destruction of thousands of new, efficient electric cars, in particular the General Motors EV1 built in the 1990’s in the USA. The film shows the roles that the car manufacturers, oil industry, US government, batteries, hydrogen fuel cells and also the consumers played in preventing the further development of this technology and its launch onto the market.
The interviews and stories in the film show an industrial culture whose dislike of change and trust in oil is greater than its ability to accept already existing solutions.
