The Truth About Cars

SEPTEMBER 14, 2023

Ford, Honda, and BMW have announced plans to create a new “vehicle-to-grid company” that’s aimed at standardizing vehicle charging via a singular platform. The service also seeks to return excess energy to the electrical grid, effectively converting EVs into publicly shared batteries.

To save development and maintenance costs, and to leverage emerging standards, charging station manufacturers increasingly turn to EV ecosystem partners. Level 2 – Standard Public Charging Stations Level 2 chargers are found at most public charging stations and also use AC power (208/240V in the US, 230/400 VAC in Europe).

O’Dowd: I was in a [Tesla] car, as a passenger, testing on a country road, and a BMW approached. where it hardly ever rains, the roads are new and wide, the traffic lights are normalized and standardized. The power grid is important, maybe the most important, but it’s difficult to prove to people it’s vulnerable.

That’s because on the one hand, the nascent EV sector is still on a path to standardization, and on the other because different charging speeds and power loads require more than one type of EV plug. If you want to use your devices abroad, you’ll typically need an adapter or even a transformer to draw power. kW) WPT2 (max 7.7
