Sandy solution for renewable energy storage; Thermal Energy Storage System

Green Car Congress

Australia-based Latent Heat Storage has developed a low cost thermal energy storage system based on the latent heat properties of silicon derived from sand. Renewable energy sources generally spill energy due to supply and demand mismatches, so we’ve designed the TESS device to capture this ‘spilt’ energy for later use or release to the grid.

Tesla Model 3 vs Kia EV6 vs Polestar 2 vs Hyundai Ioniq 5: Which one is the best EV in Australia?

EV Central

Granted, the recently-arrived Tesla Model Y makes just as much sense, but it wasn’t available as we were pulling this test together. Being designed from the outset as EVs, the Tesla, Kia and Hyundai have their e-motors in the rear driving the back wheels. That’s something we wanted to anaylse with this exclusive four-way test.
