To be successful, systems will need to evolve—in some cases, considerably—to compete financially with the cost of natural gas production. The future grid will face significant challenges by providing clean power from intermittent resources to a much more dynamic load. In their study, Yang et al. —Yang et al.

Researchers at the US Department of Energy (DOE) National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) are identifying battery second use (B2U) strategies capable of offsetting vehicle expenses while improving utility grid stability. —“Identifying and Overcoming Critical Barriers to Widespread Second Use of PEV Batteries”.

However, achieving either goal would likely require governments offering hundreds of billions of dollars, if not trillions, in EV subsidies to ICE owners over the next decade, not to mention significant investments in EV charging infrastructure and the electrical grid. Concatenated costs also include changing multiple personal behaviors.

As a comparison, 314 Exajoules is more than three times the annual energy supply in the United States in 2005, which is also a similar level of supply on the Continent of Europe according to various government and independent sources. Developing countries host more than 50% of current global renewable energy capacity. Exajoule per year.

More significantly it must be realized that hydrogen, just like a battery, is not an energy source in itself, but simply a means of storing energy. Why not simply use the electricity directly to charge electric cars via the already available distribution network – the electricity grid?

At present, PHEV technology alone is equipped to improve the current electric grid. The car can refuel during periods of low demand on the grid, and if equipped with a bi-directional charger, can actually replenish the grid with excess energy gleaned from a renewable resource.

Despite the recent progress, a number of myths around the use, power efficiency and cost of fuel cells still exist. This renewable production capacity is increasingly important to ensure the existing power grid can accept more renewable sources. Myth #2: Hydrogen gas is dangerous to store and use.

Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEV) are similar to BEVs in that they have an electric-only powertrain, but they store energy differently. FCEVs store hydrogen gas in a tank rather than charging a battery. In comparison, an FCEV with a battery pack of less than 2 kWh can drive up to 650 kilometers. Sweeter Yet a bit Bitter.

By comparison, before the current price round, DC charging with more than 50 kW was possible for 68 cents, while AC charging cost 43 cents per kWh from January 2022 until the end of August in Germany. For DC charging up to 50 kW, 75 cents per kilowatt hour will be charged at Allego from the effective date (previously 70 cents).

During the photo-assisted charging process, I − ions are photo-electrochemically oxidized to I 3 − , harvesting solar energy and storing it as chemical energy. However, challenges with hydrogen storage and the cost of fuel cells make those systems complicated and difficult for implementation. Credit: ACS, Yu et al.

“Formula E is a very unique application, because not only are we taking this equipment and shipping it all around the world, but we’re also connecting it to so many different power sources and different grids,” said Medeiros.

Despite this, a 2003 EPRI study , assuming only $2/gallon gas , zero buying incentives, and a PHEV premium of $3-$5,000 more than standard hybrids, shows that the total lifetime cost of ownership for a PHEV will be lower than that of any other vehicle type -- so the payback will be there.

Atari and other video-game companies had been making microprocessor-based arcade games for some time before the VCS was developed, but the cost of then-available processors—$100 or more each—made the idea of a home consumer product based on a microprocessor impractical. Then came Chuck Peddle and the 6502.

Hit the jump for a comparison that includes plenty of pics and video. If cost is an important consideration, than charging your EV at home is a no-brainer as it cuts out any profit-hungry middlemen. Currently, there are some industrial facilities that use battery swapping to replenish the energy stores of electric forklifts.

It is simply the cost of doing business. "On some products, the costs, particularly in advanced technologies, are high," he said in a lengthy interview with Automotive News (free subscription required). That way you have a fair basis of comparison, you know, apples to apples and all that jazz. They make them all wrong.
