Together with other highly-flexible controllable systems in the BMW Group production network, they will contribute to the stability of the public grid outside of the plant. Electricity generation from variable renewable electricity sources (VRE) such as wind and solar power has grown rapidly and is expected to continue to do so.

The device, roughly the size of a phonebook, was installed in several electric vehicles, including a Renault Twingo to collect information on the vehicle’s battery charge level, location and the power source. With this project we can show how electric vehicles can create a balance between supply and demand for smarter energy grids.

This project will demonstrate and test an electric vehicle’s ability to receive and respond to charge instructions based on the grid condition and the vehicle’s battery state. Using this aggregated data, the vehicle has the intelligence to charge to the level that is needed while factoring any current grid constraints.

BMW supplemented the smart charging of these vehicles with a solar-powered battery system made from BMW Group second-life EV batteries to support the grid during these demand response events, as necessary. If a customer does not opt-out, the vehicle charging can be shifted to meet the needs of the energy grid.

This strategic acquisition supports Elcora’s plan to enhance both its mining and energy storage solutions by adding additional markets related to battery technologies. Vanadium’s role in the growing energy grid storage will increase over the coming years. Therefore, the need for energy storage is crucial.

One question we are hearing with greater frequency is how smoothly can the electricity grid accommodate the growing number of electric vehicles. In 2021 Congress passed the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act to allocate funding for electric vehicle infrastructure through states’ transportation departments.
