they created about 28% of the automotive sector’s GHG emissions in 2020. Electric school buses equipped with vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology also have tremendous potential as “batteries on wheels” that can store electricity and provide it to the grid or to buildings when needed. What do we mean by MHDs ?

Next 10 report finds California will meet or exceed original target of 1.5M ZEVs by 2025

Green Car Congress

Studies show that California will need 125,000 to 220,000 charging ports from private and public sources by 2020 in order to provide adequate infrastructure. Bloomberg New Energy Finance estimates battery cost will decline by almost 10% until 2025, when ZEVs will reach price parity with ICE vehicles. Grid overload is another concern.

The Case for Nuclear Cargo Ships

Cars That Think

A large container ship needs about 3,000 megawatt-hours a day, which is roughly the capacity of the biggest grid battery ever built. The open-ocean vessels that the company builds—ships that lay telecommunication cable, maintenance ships, and fishing vessels—are ideal candidates for nuclear propulsion, he says.
