CMU researchers find controlled charging of PHEVs can cut cost of integration into electricity system by 54-73%; higher benefits with wind power

Green Car Congress

The magnitude of these savings is ~5% to 15% higher in a system with 20% wind penetration compared to a system with no wind power, and the savings are 50–60% higher in a system that requires capacity expansion. More specifically, controlled charging can cut the cost of integrating PHEVs approximately in half.

Queensland, AU doubles EV rebates to boost zero-emission vehicle adoption

Teslarati

GW of electricity—more generation capacity than the state’s two largest power stations combined. This abundant, cheap solar energy makes Queensland an ideal location for EV adoption. De Brenni cited the example of a resident who used solar power to drive their electric vehicle nearly 4,000 kilometers for just $14.50.
