This is accomplished using bidirectional electronic converters that link the electrical network to EV batteries. In addition to Toyota, Honda, Ford, and Porsche are highlighted as key players in the GlobalData report. The Sweep Energy System aims to provide around 100,000 kWh of electricity to Japan’s grid by the mid 2020s.

I spent all day today going through those hundred technical articles on SOC (state-of-charge) and SOH (state-of-health) algorithms for lead-acid batteries. They were all fascinating, but the one I really liked involved a Kalman filtering algorithm to constantly estimate the internal parameters of the lead-acid battery.

Think has even shown a convertible prototype. If you just set aside the fantasy goal of an electric car with the same or better performance than an ICE powered car then we could build utilitarian short range EVs now, and could have been doing this coninually since 1900 with lead-acid batteries.
