The PSM drives convert electrical energy into power with great efficiency, smoothness, and sustained output while generating relatively little heat. Rather than installing heavy batteries, Porsche is opting for fast charging. The Taycan accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in well under 3.5 seconds and tops 200 km/h in less than 12.

A handful of bidirectional-capable EVs are available today, and automakers are quickly implementing the technology. Then it takes the DC from the bus, or car, and converts it back to AC to provide power for the grid. If you convert all of those to electric school buses, it’s 108 megawatts. That’s one way.

Many of the electric vehicles available today have familiar brand names, but under the hood, these cars often rely on the technology and expertise of outside suppliers. The centrality of internal combustion to these companies can be found in their names, from General Motors to Bayerische Motoren Werke (better known as BMW).

Today’s electric grid was designed by Nicolas Tesla and Thomas Edison with help from Westinghouse and General Electric some 100 years ago. Globally, billions of people are using this ancient grid as installed, but the enormous potential of the grid is untapped—we could be getting much more energy from it. Or their UF=10% to 15%.

Giving drivers the convenience of charging their vehicles when they are away from home, charge stations have already been with us for some time and are now being installed in at a quickening pace. Most charge points available today take much longer to re-energize batteries than it does to fill a gas-powered cars tank.
