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. So to intercept the most light, solar panels need to be set up vertically.

Dynamic stabilization technology empowers EN-V, giving it the unique ability to carry two passengers and light cargo in a footprint that’s about a third of a traditional vehicle. Recharging can occur from a conventional wall outlet using standard household power, allowing EN-V to travel at least 40 kilometers (25 miles) on a single charge.

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.

Most automotive manufacturers say they plan to use renewable energy in the future, but for now, most battery production relies on electric grids largely powered by fossil fuels. That’s why operating EVs typically releases less carbon than operating gasoline vehicles of similar size, even in coal-heavy grids like Shandong or West Virginia.
