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.

Energy is stored in an 83.7kWh (net) lithium-ion battery pack sitting between between the axles. As it fills, speeds drop, but it was still sucking up juice at a rate of 119kW when 78 per cent full when we stopped for quick boost. Thank the slightly adjusted luxury car tax threshold for the extra loose change. OK, not by much.

Juicing up. The regenerative charging system converts kinetic energy into electric energy, when applying the brakes or coasting, and stores it in the battery. This range is outstanding and equals or exceeds electric vehicles costing far more. Don’t be surprised if you drive home in a Niro EV.

Several early models of passenger vehicles have enough energy stored in advanced batteries to power several homes for hours. Does it, in essence, come down to the fact that V2G takes advantage of battery storage that would exist anyway , as opposed to requiring batteries specifically for the purpose of storing night-time electricity?

Also, besides giving you the ability to charge at night when most utility rates are lower, future vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology may allow you to sell some of your stored energy back to the utilities. Currently, there are some industrial facilities that use battery swapping to replenish the energy stores of electric forklifts.

Engineering proptypes enjoy a tax break. Companies can not sell engineering prototypes in which the company got R&D tax breaks in developing the product. Then consider that in order to actually go any farther than the neighbood store, one still had to have ANOTHER car. But companies can not sell engineering prototypes.
