Four years ago, I published one of my first (absurdly arrogant) projection decades into the future, on three pathways for exploiting electric vehicle batteries for grid stability and cost efficiency. Today, it’s worth returning to it and seeing what’s happening in the space. The trigger for this was a conversation … [continued]
F-150 Lightning with available Ford Intelligent Backup Power can provide power and security during an electrical outage – the first electric truck in the U.S. to offer this capability; in the future, new features will offer additional ways to manage energy use and potentially save on energy costs.
One of the most exciting things about electric vehicles is the vast battery storage capacity in place inside electric vehicles across the country, or across the world. There’s so much potential to use those batteries to provide difference services to the electric grid, to one’s own home, to appliances and … [continued]
Using recreational boats that are simply taking up space for many months of the year to help back up the grid makes practical sense and provides a method to redirect leisure time to a productive asset for the grid. On the path to decarbonize at sea, Volvo Penta is employing … [continued]
13 years ago, Utrecht brightened our day with news of a Traffic Garden — something so basic, so common sense, and yet so amazing. Things are how they should be. Flowing with well-trained bicyclists is just one of the ways Utrecht succeeds with high-efficiency transportation, though. 9 years ago, Utrecht … [continued]
Robin Zeng,. the founder and CEO of CATL, explained recently that he plans to take the company in important new directions.
Transport & Environment recently asked Germany’s highly respected Frauhhofer Institute to investigate the economic benefits of widespread V2G (vehicle to grid) technology in Europe. At the end of October, the organization issued a report, which found V2G has the potential to save Europeans up to $22 billion a year in … [continued]
Con Edison and First Student are constructing a microgrid in Brooklyn to manage the charging requirements of electric school buses.
Electric school buses and other electric vehicles with vehicle-to-grid capability can benefit the whole community by sharing the kilowatts stored up in their batteries.

As some of you know, I was just recently hit straight on by Hurricane Milton. We went right through the center of the eye. (Ironically, it turns out, the actor who played Milton in Office Space — the stapler guy — is from Sarasota. How long has this been planned?!?!) … [continued]
