A Driver-Centric Approach Is Essential to Broad Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) Adoption

Driivz

Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology, part of smart energy management , will help stabilize that demand – if we make V2G easy, convenient, and profitable for drivers to use. V2G returns the energy stored in EV batteries to the grid. EV owners don’t view their cars as devices that store energy for someone else’s use.

The Role of Power Utilities in Turning EVs into a Grid Asset – Part 2

Driivz

Part 1 of this two-part blog discusses the challenges facing electric utilities – both electricity generators and grid operators – with electric vehicle (EV) adoption coinciding with the electrification of buildings, heating, and industry. That is one way to balance the load on the grid.

Tesla is quietly building another virtual power plant in Japan

Teslarati

In a recent blog post, Tesla Japan shared some insights about its virtual power plant (VPP) in Miyakojima, located in Okinawa Prefecture, Japan. Similar to other VPPs that Tesla has set up , the Powerwall batteries installed in the Miyakojima VPP could provide backup power to the grid when needed. What could be better than that?”

Self-Generation Nation – Solar Sales Soar Amid Escalating Energy Costs

My Energi

Key factors behind this hike included a cold summer, meaning less gas was stored for winter use; fewer pipelines were delivered than predicted; and energy generation across Europe was far lower than in previous years. Each of our products help households to consume more of their self-generated energy and minimise reliance on the grid.

EV charging trends for 2023 and the future of electrification

My Energi

Put simply, it’s the idea that offering a service for motorists to charge their vehicles isn’t enough to generate significant revenue (unless delivered on a mass scale). The idea behind V2G is the opportunity to store energy in the EV battery and return it to the grid in times of peak demand.

Six Technology Innovations in Electric Vehicle Charging

Driivz

Smart EV charging delivers reliable, safe, renewable, and cost-effective energy to EVs while meeting the needs of drivers and local grids. It depends on sophisticated back-end software that captures data from EVs, networked chargers, and the grid. No blog on EV technology innovations would be complete without touching on EV batteries.
