We’ve all seen new technologies get hyped up that later turned out to be duds. Irrelevant. If we’d ignored those things all along, we then felt smart: we didn’t waste our time on that nonsense. On the other hand, cell phones turned out to be a Superthing. They’ve gone from … [continued]
The first vehicle-to-grid system on NYC’s electricity grid launched this week. The system comes from a collaboration between Revel rideshare, Fermata Energy, and NineDot Energy. Revel’s rideshare system includes only fully electric cars. However, Tesla vehicles are not set up for vehicle-to-grid (V2G) service, so it’s just the rideshare network’s Nissan … [continued]
Using the energy in our car batteries to power our homes during emergencies and our electrical grid during times of peak usage has felt like the holy grail where electrical vehicles, renewable energy, and efficient buildings all intersect.
Nissan is testing its V2G technology at its factory in Tennessee and its design studio in San Diego. Is V2G the key to the survival of CHAdeMO?
There is a delightful fantasy out there that says the batteries in all the electric cars in the world could act as a giant, distributed virtual power plant that would store electricity from renewables when it is abundant and supply it back to the grid when demand exceeds supply. The … [continued]
Our nation is transitioning to a decarbonized, electrified energy future. The transition will occur in multiple, overlapping transformations across our electricity system, including both on the bulk power system and at the grid edge, where buildings, industry, transportation, renewables, storage, and the grid come together. Decarbonization of buildings and industry, … [continued]

Will the EU’s power grids be able to handle the significant extra load coming from a growing electric truck fleet?
Several states are mandating all-electric vehicle sales by 2035, and one of the most commonly asked questions surrounding widespread EV adoption is “Can the grid handle all those electric cars?” In their latest white paper, GridBeyond tackles the issues surrounding the rapid uptake of EV options, and how vehicle-to-everything (“V2X”) … [continued]
