The technology could fundamentally transform the way electricity is stored on the grid, making power from renewable energy sources such as wind and sun far more economical and reliable. Solid-electrode batteries maintain discharge at peak power for far too short a time to fully regulate wind or solar power output.

Results from the study also suggest that with sufficient coal plant retirement and sufficient wind power, controlled charging could result in positive net benefits instead of negative. Reduction in annual generation cost and external emissions costs due to controlled charging compared to uncontrolled charging ($2010).

Wind farms stand idle for days on end, a fire interrupts a vital cable from France, a combination of post-Covid economic recovery and Russia tightening supply means the gas price has shot through the roof – and so the market price of both home heating and electricity is rocketing.

The ultimate promise: vehicle-to-grid Many see V2G, where the EV receives power from the grid when it is cheap or plentiful and gives power back to the grid to balance and supplement the grid as needed, as the ultimate game changer. SB-233 covers school buses as well so they can power V2B and fleet depots use cases.

During the late innings of the ICE-age (as in the Internal Combustion Engine age) it has become clear that feeding gasoline and diesel to the next billion new cars is not going to be easy, or cheap. Even after the fall in US crude, gasoline in California costs $4 on average. At that price, California miles are 16 cents each.
