More details about California’s proposal requiring bidirectional charging capabilities for all EVs

Charged EVs

It turns an EV into a mobile battery that can be used to provide backup power to a home or business, and to provide services to the electrical grid, generating revenue for the vehicle owner and potentially offsetting a significant part of the purchase price of the vehicle. Going bi adds several nifty new benefits to driving electric.

Stanford scientists identify new Li-B-S solid electrolyte materials that boost lithium-ion battery performance

Green Car Congress

Stanford University scientists have identified a new solid-state Li-ion electrolyte predicted to exhibit simultaneously fast ionic conductivity, wide electrochemical stability, low cost, and low mass density. Most lithium-ion batteries today use a liquid electrolyte that can combust if the battery is punctured or short-circuited.
