This conversion can happen within the charger or in the vehicle, depending on which device is equipped with a converter. Efficiently running this bidirectional conversion process requires smart-charging technology , which manages how and when the car takes or returns energy.

Study suggests current levels of methane leakage would result in numerous decades of more rapid climate change from a shift to natural gas vehicles

APRIL 10, 2012

Using this approach, they found that converting a fleet of cars from gasoline to CNG would result in decades of more rapid climate change because of greater radiative forcing in the early years after the conversion. This would eventually be offset by a modest benefit. Alvarez, Stephen W. Pacala, James J. Winebrake, William L. Hamburg (2012).

Additionally, few of current harvesting and dewatering technologies available today are amenable to scaling for larger production scenarios of 1,000 acre or larger algal farms. Algae cultures tend to be relatively dilute, and the energy requirement to remove water from the cultures can be a significant portion of the energy balance.

Most charge points available today take much longer to re-energize batteries than it does to fill a gas-powered cars tank. Perhaps more importantly, quickly "pouring" electricity into many of the batteries available today may stress the very expensive component and shorten their useful lifetime.
