Starting this year, thousands of battery-powered electric drive Volkswagen vehicles capable of both loading and offloading current—bidirectional charging, as industry calls it—have been rolling off production lines in eastern Germany. Volkswagen's current ID models with 77 kWh battery option now come ready for bidirectional charging.

In recent testimony, Nuvve CEO Gregory Poilasne told the lawmakers that bidirectional charging can reduce the total cost of EV ownership, and that it’s essential for integrating more renewable energy into the grid. Then it takes the DC from the bus, or car, and converts it back to AC to provide power for the grid.

The carbon-free rigs will pack 50 kilos of hydrogen zapped from water using electricity from the refinery’s dedicated solar power plant. Resource-poor Asian neighbors such as Japan and Korea are also counting on Aussie green hydrogen to help get them off fossil fuels in the decades ahead. Why a hydrogen truck?

Nonetheless, hydrogen fuel cell cars are, like pure battery powered cars, classed as Zero Emission Vehicles (ZEV). If taken from such sources, hydrogen is a fossil fuel, and is not a renewable resource. The only by products are water and a fair degree of heat, the latter indicating a degree of inefficiency and wasted energy.

The Basics Battery electric vehicles, sometimes called BEVs or just EVs, get their power from a lithium-ion battery instead of gasoline or diesel fuel. The battery powers the motor , which supplies energy to the gears and turns the wheels. However, EVs can be made even cleaner by using solar power as a fuel source.
