Charged EVs

MAY 8, 2023

A handful of bidirectional-capable EVs are available today, and automakers are quickly implementing the technology. The idea of vehicle-to-grid is that you are storing energy at the end of the distribution system, so you can absorb those peaks. This is opening the door to resources such as V2G participating in the spot market.

It offers the solution to several significant transitions we need: moving society from burning fossil fuels to substituting renewable resource fuels such as solar, wind and biofuels; and from using fossil materials as fuel to using them for other recyclable uses. It is much more than that.

The hybrid models available today use lead-acid ornickel-metal hydride batteries that are are proven, reliable, and fairlycheap, but their limited storage capacity means that the cars’ driving rangeusing electricity alone is short. So the car uses an electrical store to power the drive motor. to charge overnight.

Also, besides giving you the ability to charge at night when most utility rates are lower, future vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology may allow you to sell some of your stored energy back to the utilities. Currently, there are some industrial facilities that use battery swapping to replenish the energy stores of electric forklifts.
