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.

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.

Bloomberg NEF forecasts falling battery prices enabling surge in wind and solar to 50% of global generation by 2050

Green Car Congress

BNEF predicts that lithium-ion battery prices, already down by nearly 80% per megawatt-hour since 2010, will continue to tumble as electric vehicle manufacturing builds up through the 2020s. NEO 2018 sees $11.5 trillion being invested globally in new power generation capacity between 2018 and 2050, with $8.4

Thermal Energy Storage Is No Longer Just Hot Air

Cars That Think

Batteries have a powerful spigot, but that comes at the cost of a small tub. The bathtub is cheap for us, so when it comes to how much we can store, we can increase that capacity quite cheaply,” says Michael Simpson , the cofounder of Cheesecake Energy. Getting a 100 percent decarbonized grid is nothing but an optimization problem.”—Matthew

Utility solar dethrones coal as the cheapest power source in Asia

Baua Electric

Photo: China News Service Renewable energy costs in Asia last year were 13% cheaper than coal and are expected to be 32% cheaper by 2030, according to a new study. New-build solar project costs are expected to fall by another 20% by 2030 due to lower module prices and an oversupply from China.

PA Turnpike considers solar-powered EV charging stations

Teslarati

EV charging suppliers are torn between energy costs, expansion needs, and remaining price competitive (to name a few factors). With cheap energy generation, one high cost of EV charging can be removed, assisting organizations in achieving profitability. Renewables offer a great way to help balance the scale.

Why 2023 will be another great year for electric vehicles

My Energi

There are plenty of electric vehicles available for the price of the UK’s average new car, and running costs for the vast majority of EV drivers will be lower thanks to a majority being able to rely on home charging. For new car buyers, especially company car drivers, going electric is a virtual no brainer.
