A smart EV charger will enable an EV to be charged when weather conditions allow and there is a surfeit of low carbon, low cost power available. Similarly, because a smart EV charger can adapt charging speed and time, it can also help minimise demand on the grid when renewable-generated power is low.

Low-cost shale gas has improved the prospects for natural gas-derived hydrogen, especially in the United States, where it is a major force in the resurgence of federal interest in hydrogen energy. Global public support now totals about $1 billion per year, leveraging many times that amount in private funds.

Yet whenever we troublemakers raised this issue, we were told not to worry – it would resolve itself, they said, either because wind is usually blowing somewhere, or through the development of electricity storage in giant battery farms. This was plain wrong.

Our primary target is as part of a hybrid battery-capacitor system for electric cars. But there are many small scale applications, [including] better electrical storage systems for cellphones or laptops.” Multiple energy storage panels would be stacked together inside a car battery system or solar panel.
