PNNL study finds that PHEVs and BEVs could serve as feasible resource to offset grid imbalances caused by integration of large amounts of intermittent wind generation

Green Car Congress

V2GFull varies not only the charging of the vehicle battery, but also can vary the discharging of the battery back into the power grid. trafficIn particular, the PNNL report examined the implications of adding another 10 Gigawatts of wind to the region’s grid by 2019, which regulations such as the Renewable Portfolio Standards require.

What is Electrification of Transportation?

Driivz

In the US, 36% of electricity is generated using renewables, including wind, solar, and hydropower, as well as non-CO2-emitting nuclear power. EVs will be greener in Washington state, where almost half of electricity comes from hydropower, than in Wyoming, where electric generation is primarily fueled by coal.

Flash Drive: 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6 EV

Clean Fleet Report

Wind and road noise were reduced partly due to acoustic laminated glass and sound deadening insulation. Charging and Regeneration Like most EVs, the Ioniq 6 offers three charging speed options for the 53.0 The slowest charging is using a standard 120V household plug that delivers a full charge in about two and a half days.
