800-Volt EV Charging: The ?Other Palliative for Range Anxiety ???

Cars That Think

The Hyundai and Kia can also perform vehicle-to-load (V2L) charging, using up to 80 percent of stored energy to power electronics, small appliances, and even another EV, though with a modest 3.6-kW For my own recent test, a mere 150-kW EA charger at a Target in New Jersey had to suffice.

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

Cars That Think

The need for large-scale electrochemical energy storage as a grid-stabilizing source of demand disappeared. When utilities considered storage technology at all in the succeeding decades, it was generally in the form of pumped-storage hydropower, an expensive piece of infrastructure that could be built only in hilly terrain.

The Importance of Managed EV Charging

EV Match

In fact, the International Energy Agency (IEA) predicts by 2050 around 15% of average electrical demand can be shifted by demand response strategies. Overall, demand response is critical for our energy future as we shift towards full electrification. How Does Demand Response Play a Role with EV Charging?
