One of the top presentations at EVBox’s first annual rEVolution conference earlier this year came from Thomas Raffeiner, CEO & Founder of The Mobility House.
In this presentation, Thomas highlighted a few projects used old EV batteries and helping to intelligently manage extreme as well as regular electricity needs in these locations. The Mobility House has partnered with Nissan, Renault, Daimler, and others for these projects. In my eyes, though, the most interesting project was with the Vatican.

Originally published on Gas2. Germany expects 40 to 45% of the electrical power consumed in Germany to be generated from renewable resources by 2025. That number is anticipated to grow to 55 to 60% by 2035. That’s good news for greening the electrical grid, but renewables still require some form of … [continued]
Originally published on EV Obsession. Renault recently ran a testing round of a new smart-charging system — by the name of The Mobility House — in Germany. The testing round involved 11 Renault ZOE owners (who were also employees of the French company) testing out the system at their places of residence … [continued]
The tipping point between electric vehicles and gasoline power is still far away in the distance, but the changeover has been accelerating with lightning speed over the past couple of years. The raw sales figures only tell a small part of the tale. What really matters is the way that … [continued]
