I am relatively new to EVs and I am not an engineer. Rather I am an accountant. I love all the tech talk here, but much of it I can't understand. Why not have a place to post questions beginners might ask - and answers.
What is a PEM. My research led me to Wikipedia PEM may stand for: Peabody Essex Museum Pediatric emergency medicine Photoelastic modulator Polioencephalomalacia Polyelectrolyte multilayer Porous European Mix – a type of asphalt used on roads and airport runways, commonly referred to as PEM Portable Emissions Measurement System (PEMS) Predictive Emission Monitoring System (PEMS) Positron emission mammography Privacy Enhanced Mail the .pem filename extension is used for a Base64-encoded X.509 certificate Protein-energy malnutrition Proton exchange membrane or Polymer Electrolyte Membrane – as in "fuel cell", applications include use in proton-exchange fuel cells, used to manipulate hydrogen for energy conversion The IATA code for the Padre Aldamiz International Airport in Puerto Maldonado, Madre de Dios, Peru Pemberton railway station, England; National Rail station code PEM Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia PEM nut Self Clinching nut - commonly referred to as 'PEM' All I gathered from other posts was that it was black and pretty expensive. Am I dumb? Please educate me. Thanks
Hi Johann, and welcome! Thanks for trying to find the answer on your own first, that's appreciated. I've found that if I add 'electric car' or 'EV' to the word I'm searching on, I have more targeted results.
