The NZN concept relies on high energy density storage systems incorporated into the local grid, as well as efficient photovoltaic generation. NZN can integrate with the centralized grid. Actually delivering commercially viable 500-mile batteries will require exascale computing—i.e., The Net-Zero Neighborhood. Gil Weigand.

A Battery for Heat Made from Sand Noted chemical engineer Donald Sadoway is quoted as saying: “If you want to make a dirt-cheap battery, you have to make it out of dirt.” The electrical grid also supports the efficient distribution of power and makes use of energy generated through renewable means like wind and solar.

The PHEV does not require the heavy, costly batteries required by other electric cars, nor does it suffer from a limited range or poor freeway performance. At present, PHEV technology alone is equipped to improve the current electric grid. Appendix C: Intricacies of the Grid—transfer of power vs. energy. slow charge.
