The concept behind V2G had gained traction in the late 1990s after California’s landmark zero-emission-vehicle (ZEV) mandate went into effect and compelled automakers to commercialize electric cars. And with the revival of the EV, the V2G concept was reborn. The experiment seemed to prove the feasibility of the technology.

The latest smartphones are more powerful than the fastest supercomputers from the year 2000. Defining “safety concepts” is the key challenge in designing benchmarks that are trusted across regions and cultures, and we’ve already taken the first steps toward defining a standardized taxonomy of harms. We released a v0.5

in a comparable time to that required for filling automobiles with gasoline. To investigate cycle retention at high rates, these materials were cycled at a rate of 20C for 2000 cycles. The specific power of a 20 C cycle of an LIB is comparable with that of variable capacitors. —Lee et al. and Cho, J.
