We and our colleagues at Astrobotic , a small Pittsburgh-based business founded in 2007, are on a mission to make space accessible to the world. This grid is designed to deliver power where it’s needed via a fleet of robotic rovers. What the stations cannot do for themselves is distribute power to locations separated from this grid.

Although an electric range of 10 miles may not sound too impressive, the more frequently a battery is fully discharged during normal operation, and subsequently recharged from the grid, the faster the consumer sees a return on their battery investment. GM is still continuing to invest in hydrogen vehicle development.

Vehicle to Grid (V2G) technology is a bi-directional electric grid interface that allows a plug-in to take energy from the grid or put it back on the grid. Smart Grid City will use a realtime high-speed two-way communication throughout the distribution grid. Smart meters and substations will be integral.

The four-door sedan will deliver 40 miles on a charge; a small gasoline engine will recharge the battery as it approaches depletion, extending its range by as much as 200 miles. Volt like hybrids are the intermediate future between hydrogen or fast charging electric cars. The car is expected to cost around $40,000.
