But unlike traditional gas-powered cars, electric vehicle batteries do not last as long in extremely cold weather. Even a policy with cheap rates can provide some coverage in case of an emergency. Keep your EV Battery Charged. When the temperature drops, the cold weather can reduce the capacity of a battery.

The point of demand charges is to levy extra costs on those that put the biggest strain on the power grid, to offset the damage they do. After all, power grids do have a maximum amount of energy they can provide at once. Battery capacity for EVs ranges from 17 kW/h to over 100. This is not cheap.

It’s about one-twentieth the size of the minibus-scale geostationary satellites already in orbit, allowing for cheap and quick deployment. The transmission line will sidestep the growing difficulties of connecting renewable-energy sources to the power grid. But this satellite is the first of a new breed, dubbed microGEO.

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.
