UPS-led SEUL consortium switches on smart-grid fleet charging solution in London; maxing out on EVs without expensive grid upgrades

Green Car Congress

A UPS-led consortium has deployed new smart-grid charging technology in London that overcomes the challenge of simultaneously recharging an entire fleet of electric vehicles (EVs) without the need for the expensive upgrade to the power supply grid. SEUL is a two-year project that commenced in April 2017.

A Driver-Centric Approach Is Essential to Broad Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) Adoption

Driivz

Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology, part of smart energy management , will help stabilize that demand – if we make V2G easy, convenient, and profitable for drivers to use. V2G returns the energy stored in EV batteries to the grid. Convincing EV owners to give back to the grid will take more than a vision of making the world better.

They are quieter, cleaner, have better acceleration, and cost less to keep running because electricity is cheaper than diesel and EVs require less maintenance than their ICE counterparts. These practices enable you to lower costs and maximize local grid infrastructure to support a large fleet of EVs in the most cost-effective way.

MIT, Ford researchers find lightweight conventional vehicles could have lower lifecycle GHG impact than EVs depending upon location

Green Car Congress

Regional differences in climate, electric grid burdens, and driving patterns compound to produce significant regional heterogeneity in the GHG benefits of electrification. The results highlight the need for a portfolio of fuel efficient offerings to recognize the heterogeneity of regional climate, electric grid burdens, and driving patterns.

How EVs Are Helping Humanity & Saving Lives?

Get Electric Vehicle

From the battery, the power is delivered to the control module and electric motors of the vehicle. The main type of battery used is Lithium-ion and when the charge is depleted the batteries can be recharged again. Fuel cell powered EVs: Fuel cells generate electricity by dividing electrons from hydrogen molecules.
