BNEF ups forecast for global investment in stationary energy storage, sees majority of capacity likely to be grid-scale

Green Car Congress

BNEF projects that it will be made possible by further sharp declines in the cost of lithium-ion batteries, on top of an 85% reduction in the 2010-18 period. This is a new era of dispatchable renewables, based on new contract structures between developer and grid. —Logan Goldie-Scot, head of energy storage at BNEF.

Proposed California Bill SB-233 Mandates Bidirectional Charging for EVs to Advance Grid and Climate Protection

Driivz

The bill, SB-233 , aims to advance grid resilience and protect the climate by using EVs as “batteries on wheels,” tapping their stored energy to balance electricity supply and demand rather than bringing high-polluting peak generators online. Vehicle-to-building works much the same way but on a larger scale.

How HummingbirdEV uses modular platforms and micro-factories to lower the cost of commercial EVs

Charged EVs

The company is laser-focused on keeping costs down, and a key part of that strategy involves setting up micro-factories to serve specific customers, and building local supply chains. How do you increase grid reliability, and how do you manage the peak hours? And that’s with a handful of vehicles.

Harvard team demonstrates new metal-free organic–inorganic aqueous flow battery; potential breakthrough for low-cost grid-scale storage

Green Car Congress

In a paper in Nature , they suggest that the use of such redox-active organic molecules instead of redox-active metals represents a new and promising direction for realizing massive electrical energy storage at greatly reduced cost. —Huskinson et al. Background.

Toyota to debut 2 BEVs, 1 PHEV for US this year; says research shows BEVs & PHEVs have similar environmental benefits

Green Car Congress

Toyota shared highlights of new internal research evaluating the environmental impact and cost of ownership between a PHEV and a BEV. For this research, Toyota created a tool that shows the trade-off between GHG Emissions and Total Cost of Ownership. The PHEV is much less expensive to buy and own, compared to the BEV.
