New nanoparticle copper compound cathode could enable low-cost, long-life and high-power potassium-ion batteries for grid storage

Green Car Congress

Stationary energy storage systems that can operate for many cycles, at high power, with high round-trip energy efficiency, and at low cost are required. Because the ions can move so freely, the electrode’s cycle of charging and discharging is extremely fast. Cost is a greater concern. —Colin Wessells.

How Smart EV Charging Will Help Promote Renewable Power Generation

Wallbox

This can lead to a huge variation in the grid power available, which can be a problem for power companies. But, if householders and businesses can be flexible about when they charge their EVs, then they can help to balance the grid and support renewable power generation. The flexibility of controlled EV charging.
