SECTION 131 TRANSPORTATION ELECTRIFICATION
SEC 131 Transportation Electrification
SEC 131 Transportation Electrification
DOE to establish competitive grants for electric vehicles and PHEVs to encourage early widespread use and advance production of electric (And PHEV) vehicles in USA. $90 million per year authorized (2008-2012). One third of funds reserved for local governments.
DOE to provide grants for electric transportation projects such as truck stop electrification, airport ground support equipment, electric rail, etc. $95 million per year authorized (2008-2012)
Electric Drive Transportation technology high school and college level education program established by DOE including a “Dr. Andrew Frank PHEV Competition” and financial assistance to support engineering degree programs.
SEC 132 Domestic Manufacturing Conversion Grant Program
Grants to auto makers, suppliers, component manufacturers to encourage PHEVs, EVs, and advanced diesels. Priority given to recently closed facilities or facilities in danger of closing
SEC 133 Inclusion of Electric Drive in Energy Policy Act of 1992
Adds PHEVs, hybrids, and Neighborhood Electric Vehicles to list of those vehicles receiving credit under Epact fleet requirements.
SEC 134 Loan Guarantees for Fuel Efficient vehicles including electric and PHEVs
SEC 135 Advanced Battery Loan Guarantee Program
Guarantees of loans for construction of battery manufacturing facilities including electrical systems and software.
SEC 135 Advanced Technology Vehicle Manufacturing Incentive Program
Direct loans ($25 billion authorized) to entities producing advanced vehicles that have Bin 5 Tier II Emissions standards and at least 125% of fuel economy of similar vehicles
SEC 136 Federal Vehicle Fleet Requirements
EPA to provide list of low GHG emitting vehicles.Federal agencies must use low GHG emitting vehicles
SEC 142 Federal Fleet Conservation Requirements
Federal agencies to reduce petroleum use by 20% by 2015
SEC 206 Study of Credits for use of Renewable Electricity in Electric Vehicles
EPA to study feasibility of providing credits under renewable fuel standard for electric vehicles using renewable power.
Sec 641 Energy Storage for Transportation and Electric Power

Volta thought that electricity was produced by contact between the two metals rather than as a result of chemical reaction. His invention would remove the study of electricity from the realm of curiosity and propel it directly into scientific laboratories. In France, André-Marie Ampère, professor of chemistry and physics, also drew on work by another researcher, Christian Oersted. In1820, this Danish physicist discovered that an electric current produced a magnetic field. A few weeks after the announcement of Oersted's results, Ampère succeeded in making a coil (solenoid) to create a magnetic field.
