They wanted to see whether an electric vehicle could feed electricity back to the grid. The company’s president, Tom Gage , dubbed the system “vehicle to grid” or V2G. And EV owners would become entrepreneurs, selling electricity back to the grid. And indeed, that’s how promoters of vehicle-to-grid technology perceive the EV.

A battery, based on electrodes made of sodium and nickel chloride and using thea new type of metal mesh membrane, could be used for grid-scale installations to make intermittent power sources such as wind and solar capable of delivering reliable baseload electricity.

Cheap and abundant, sodium is a promising candidate for new battery technology. Over time, the electrochemical reactions that keep the energy flowing get sluggish, and the battery can no longer recharge. However, the limited performance of sodium-ion batteries has hindered large-scale application.

They gradually lose capacity with each discharge and recharge cycle, and they can be fire hazards. The bathtub is cheap for us, so when it comes to how much we can store, we can increase that capacity quite cheaply,” says Michael Simpson , the cofounder of Cheesecake Energy. For batteries, it’s quite expensive to make the bath bigger.”

The average cost to trial participants for recharging at home is between 25p and £1 (US$0.40 The journey data gathered is already showing that the current generation of vehicles are cheap to run as well as being comparable to petrol and diesel vehicles for speed, ease of use and daily journey distance. and $1.60) per day.

Companies can reduce costs by using locally generated renewable energy, typically solar, to power EV charging instead of grid electricity. This energy can also be stored in onsite batteries for use when grid energy is most expensive. Or you can store grid energy in the batteries when it is cheap and use it to meet peak needs.

These properties render quinone-based redox couples very attractive for high-efficiency metal-free rechargeable batteries, they found. Since grid-scale electrical energy storage requires hundreds of gigawatt-hours to be stored, the batteries for this application must be inexpensive, robust, safe and sustainable. —Yang et al.
