BMW i home energy storage system integrates 2nd-life i3 vehicle batteries

Green Car Congress

BMW i announced a home stationary energy storage system solution integrating its BMW i3 vehicle battery at EVS 29 in Montréal. The system has been designed to be integrated into the house energy supply chain. The “plug and play” nature of the BMW i3 battery application in this system is a key element in its design.

OSU team develops new aqueous lithium-iodine solar flow battery; 20% energy savings over Li-I batteries

Green Car Congress

The charging voltage reduction translates to energy savings of close to 20% compared to conventional Li−I batteries. This concept, the researchers notes in their paper in the Journal of the American Chemical Society , also serves as a guiding design that can be extended to other metal-redox flow battery systems.

Greenlings: Benefits of charging stations vs. battery swaps vs. home charging

Tony Karrer Delicious EVdriven

A couple of drawbacks to consider might be the capitalization costs of building these stations and the batteries that they would have to have in stock. Forcing companies to conform to standardized batteries prevents them from designing better cars. You could sit in your vehicle while the operation takes place.
