Demand Shifting in Hawaiʻi: The Other Half of the Energy Transition

The series examining Oʻahu’s energy transition has followed a consistent structure. It began by defining the island’s fully electrified energy system and stripping away energy uses that do not serve the civilian economy. Aviation fuel for flights leaving Hawaiʻi, maritime bunkering for ships crossing the Pacific, and military energy consumption … [continued]

Unlocking Vehicle-to-Grid at Scale

Why EU type approval is the missing lever to make every EV a grid asset. In 2024, T&E highlighted the potential of Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G), and bi-directional charging of Electric Vehicles (EVs). EVs are ‘Batteries on Wheels’, delivering flexibility benefits for the electricity grid, supporting the integration of more renewables, and delivering … [continued]

The New War of the Currents

Why standardising bidirectional charging is key to enabling vehicle-to-grid (V2G) and driving Europe’s next energy revolution. More than a century ago a fierce technological and marketing battle raged between Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla to establish the standard for electrical power distribution. One favoured Direct Current (DC), the other Alternating … [continued]

One of the other presenters at the even was the head of The Mobility House, founder and then-CEO Thomas Raffeiner. The company’s focus: vehicle-to-grid technology. It was clear he and The Mobility House had been working … [continued]

Op-Ed: How A $14,000 Electric Kei Car Became Japan’s Best-Selling EV & Saved Nissan

While Tesla and BYD (not in that order) dominate EV headlines globally, Japan’s EV sales success for three consecutive years is a tiny 11-foot-long kei car that costs roughly $14,000 after subsidies and offers just 112 miles of range. The Nissan Sakura has become more than a sales success—it’s arguably … [continued]
