and the Tokyo Institute of Technology are developing a smart charging system to exploit wind power produced at night to charge electric vehicles. In order to store electricity generated at night, windmill operators need to install sodium-sulfur battery systems, which are as costly as power generators. Mitsubishi Corp.

In circumstances when supply is limited and time constraints apply, such as supporting on demand fast and superfast charging in the highway corridor, local solar energy generation and battery storage can fill in shortfalls from the grid. Most cars are parked 95% of the time, making EVs ideal flexibility assets for the grid.

Renewable energy can also be under-utilized when the wind is blowing and the sun is shining, but demand is lower than supply. Companies can reduce costs by using locally generated renewable energy, typically solar, to power EV charging instead of grid electricity. On the other hand, between peaks are periods of under-utilized capacity.

Replacing internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles with battery electric vehicles (BEVs) — called electrification — is the only way to substantially reduce CO2 emissions in the transportation sector. One study found that, by far, battery electric vehicles have the lowest lifecycle GHG emissions compared to all other technologies.

In the US, 36% of electricity is generated using renewables, including wind, solar, and hydropower, as well as non-CO2-emitting nuclear power. These advances, along with bigger and better battery technologies, will help longer-distance and longer-time use cases for EV trucks and buses.
