Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC) has launched a Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) pilot, with the first charge point already being utilized with Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV’s in-vehicle storage batteries. Hence, a new mechanism to reduce the burden on charging electricity infrastructure is required. Earlier post.). Earlier post.).

In Germany, Mercedes-Benz Cars has eight vehicle and powertrain plants (Bremen, Rastatt, Sindelfingen, Berlin, Hamburg, Kamenz, Kölleda, Stuttgart-Untertürkheim), which either purchase electricity or operate their own power plants. Already existing highly efficient gas CHP systems additionally generate local heat and power at the factories.

They’ve been studying up on renewable energy, hydrogen power, and electric vehicles, preparing for the big day in April when their remote-controlled vehicles will rumble for 4 hours in Gladstone, a port city in Queensland. And while coal plants still supplied over half of Australia’s power in 2021, change is afoot.

Furthermore, smart energy management helps reduce capital and operating costs by better managing energy demand during peak hours and integrating renewables and local battery storage. Clear visibility and logging of chargers’ issues is critical, along with simple but powerful dashboards for operators.

Ford has into a partnership with Johnson Controls-Saft (JCS) to develop advanced lithium-ion battery system to power Ford’s first production plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) beginning in 2012. The first PHEV research prototype used a JCS 10 kWh lithium-ion battery pack based off a 41 Ah cylindrical cell. Earlier post.).

Then, as now, wind farms are operating off the world’s coasts—but not all of these offshore sites are connected to the mainland via underwater power cables. Unlike today, the future will see a climate-neutral world where energy will primarily be electricity from photovoltaics, wind turbines, and hydroelectric power plants.

Other changes, compared to the concept that was first revealed back in 2021, include a larger charge indicator embedded within the bonnet that includes a ‘5’ logo that fills to communicate how full the battery is or how much longer it needs to charge. A smaller, lighter 40kWh battery pack will also be offered on the cheapest models.

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. ’s power generation, he said.
