In 2001, a team of engineers at a then-obscure R&D company called AC Propulsion quietly began a groundbreaking experiment. Electricity is a commodity that is bought and sold, and yet unlike most other commodities, it cannot easily be stored. They wanted to see whether an electric vehicle could feed electricity back to the grid.

Given the rapid uptake of electric vehicles, many people are thinking hard about how to make the best use of all that rolling battery power. This duo, alongside Timothy Lipman of the University of California, Berkeley , and Alec Brooks of AC Propulsion , laid the foundation for vehicle-to-grid power.

By 2050, it is expected that 74% of Europe’s cars on the road will be battery-powered. Despite the rapid adoption of electric vehicles, there has been little discussion about standardizing battery types. Standardization is one part of the equation for achieving universal vehicle electrification by the mid-century mark.

There has been much discussion for over thirty years or more around the use of hydrogen fuel cells as an alternative to the internal combustion engine. Fuel cells had been promoted in some sectors as the best alternative to the internal combustion engine. Both the battery and the fuel cell use chemical reactions to produce electricity.

Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the Universe but, on earth, it must normally be extracted from water or organic compounds. And, according to a report by the California Fuel Cell Partnership, cars that run on hydrogen derived from natural gas emit 55% to 65% less carbon than gasoline-powered ones, because of their higher efficiencies.
