At the Los Angeles Auto Show, Audi presented the Audi prologue concept car, featuring a mild hybrid powertrain with a 48V electrical subsystem. The lithium-ion battery pack in the rear storing 14.1 AWC technology provides energy from a floor plate which is connected to the power grid and which can be embedded on or into the asphalt.

The programme’s foundation is built on the concept of a circular economy , which seeks to avoid the linear “take-to-waste” model. Batteries that can no longer hold a charge can be repurposed for other uses. A battery in its second life can serve a variety of purposes, such as: Providing stability to the power grid.

They wanted to see whether an electric vehicle could feed electricity back to the grid. The company’s president, Tom Gage , dubbed the system “vehicle to grid” or V2G. And with the revival of the EV, the V2G concept was reborn. Once electricity is generated and passes into the grid, it is typically used almost immediately.

Stanford University researchers have devised a new way to make lithium-ion battery packs last longer and suffer less deterioration from fast charging. The key is to tailor charging rates to the unique capacity of each cell to stave off failure. The approach effectively allows each cell to live its best—and longest—life.

The winds had barely died down when electric-power specialists and others began calling for a radical overhaul of Puerto Rico’s electricity networks, one that would emphasize renewable energy, distributed generation, and, critically, microgrids. A microgrid is like a miniaturized, tightly controlled version of a power grid.

and, acting as the link, controls the flow of high-voltage power between the e-motor and the lithium-ion battery (depending on battery voltage between 296 and up to 418 V). In doing so the power electronics convert the direct current (DC) stored in the battery into alternating current (AC) and use this to drive the motor.
