Sand is emerging as a key ingredient in the race to develop a viable electricity storage system for renewable energies. Australia-based Latent Heat Storage has developed a low cost thermal energy storage system based on the latent heat properties of silicon derived from sand. by Andrew Spence. —Jonathan Whalley.

Upfront costs are steadily approaching parity with legacy vehicles, purchase incentives are available, and new programs at the levels of federal (IRA, BIL), state (California’s ACT and ACF) and local (city zero-emission zones) government are driving (some would say “coercing”) companies to move forward quickly.

It optimizes energy consumption based on grid constraints, energy pricing, renewable energy availability, locally stored energy, preconfigured EV owner preferences, and driver needs. EV drivers require complete transparency, with real-time information about charger availability as well as clarity about peak and non-peak pricing.

The G-Wiz, made in India, now offers a lithium-ion battery option that extendsits driving range from 48 to 75 miles – but doubles the price. Only when we have an efficient method of electricity storage will the electric car/van/bus become a viable proposition. Mike, Epworth, UK Ok. May I ask what powers the heater?
