“Vehicle-To-Building” allows up to six Nissan LEAF EVs to be connected to a building’s power distribution board. Charging is phased during the day so at peak hours, when electricity is most expensive, the building draws power from the cars. Electric (Battery) Smart charging V2X' The results have led to approximately a 2.5%

The Lithium-ion batteries are intended for use in electric vehicles and as solar power storage systems. After 10,000 complete charging and discharging cycles with a complete charge and discharge cycle per hour (2 C), our lithium batteries still have more than 85 % of the initial capacity. In a 2012 paper (Tran et al.)

Honda selected Toshiba Corporation’s SCiB rechargeable Li-ion battery to power the Fit EV. Toshiba will supply battery modules for the new car, which Honda will launch in summer 2012 in Japan and the US. The SCiB charges in about half the time of a typical Li-ion battery, Toshiba says.

Built at a cost of roughly 5 billion yen, the plant can make lithium ion battery cells with a charge capacity of 150 watt-hours at a rate of 200,000 cells a year. A cell with that capacity can hold 60 times more charge than the tiny lithium ion batteries used in cell phones.In

At the same time, batteries in electric vehicles offer large storage potential and thus can offer an additional way to compensate for these fluctuations. Pooling batteries of electric vehicles offers a power storage capability of significant size suitable for mass consumption, which can compensate for fluctuations in the power grid.

Using this equipment, a Nissan LEAF or e-NV200 owner can connect to charge at low-demand, and cheap tariff periods, with an option to then use the electricity stored in the vehicle’s battery at home when costs are higher, or even feed back to the grid with a net financial benefit.

Milczarek and Inganäs describe how a class of organic compounds known as quinones allows the lignin derivatives to shed a proton and store this electric charge in its place. The polypyrrole is able to hold on to the loose proton until the charge is released and the proton returns to the quinone group of the lignin derivative.
