The startup offers marine data as a service using its solar-powered Data Xplorer ocean drones, which eliminate the need for traditional crewed vessels. Thanks to the combination of solar cells and lithium batteries, she says, “our boats can operate and travel nonstop for months, without needing refueling or external recharging.”

This turns EV batteries into a source for power storage that can be leveraged to balance energy capacity in your condo. What’s more, if your condo has onsite renewable sources like solar panels, these chargers could also help you store this excess energy during the daytime to support energy demand at night.

And in a true smart grid, electric cars will not only be able to draw on electricity to run their motors, they will also be able to do the reverse: send electricity stored in their batteries back into the grid when it is needed. In effect, cars would be acting like tiny power stations. We will own the battery.
