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.

RMIT researchers demonstrate working rechargeable proton battery

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Australia’s RMIT University have demonstrated for the first time a working rechargeable “proton battery”. The rechargeable battery is environmentally friendly, and has the potential, with further development, to store more energy than currently-available lithium ion batteries. Earlier post.)

UC Riverside team develops new coating strategy for Li-metal anodes to prevent dendrite formation

Green Car Congress

High capacity lithium (Li) ion batteries are highly desirable now for applications in consumer electronics, electrical vehicles, and grid storage. For these purposes, many high-capacity cathode (including Li−sulfur and Li−air) and anode materials (Li metal, silicon, tin, and metal oxide) have recently re-emerged. 6b05475.

Expert panel report finds achieving 1M plug-in vehicles in US by 2015 would require concentrated action to overcome barriers

Green Car Congress

Because [Ford] can provide the hardware, but ultimately, our country has to decide is this where we really want to go and if so, how are we going to really develop the smart grid in a way that works and allows the utilities to actually speak to each other and trade power, ubiquity of charging and all those things.

What is the difference between BEVs, PHEVs and HEVs?

Drive Electric

Fully electric vehicles run on rechargeable batteries, which power an electric motor. The electricity used to drive the vehicle is stored in a large battery, which is charged by plugging the car into a power source, either at home or public charging stations. WHAT IS A BEV (BATTERY ELECTRIC VEHICLE)? HOW DOES A FULL EV WORK?
