False Starts: The Story of Vehicle-to-Grid Power

Cars That Think

They wanted to see whether an electric vehicle could feed electricity back to the grid. The company’s president, Tom Gage , dubbed the system “vehicle to grid” or V2G. And EV owners would become entrepreneurs, selling electricity back to the grid. And indeed, that’s how promoters of vehicle-to-grid technology perceive the EV.

A123 Systems introduces new Nanophosphate EXT Li-ion battery technology with optimized performance in extreme temperatures; OEM micro-hybrid program due next year

Green Car Congress

We feel that we have erased the cold cranking deficit—the Achilles heel [for Li-ion] from a performance perspective against lead acid. ” Based on our analysis, the performance of A123’s new Nanophosphate EXT at high temperatures is unlike anything we’ve ever seen from lead acid, lithium ion or any other battery technology.

Aqua Metals is building a more sustainable battery recycling ecosystem

Charged EVs

In contrast, lead-acid batteries have a 99% recycling rate in the US. Other batteries are coming from battery energy storage systems. Grid stabilization, solar arrays, wind farms, and even home energy storage systems—some of those are coming offline and already going to their second set of batteries.
