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. —Peter Harris, director of sustainability, UPS Europe.

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.

CMU policy briefs outline benefits and potential for adoption of electrified vehicles in the US

Green Car Congress

The first—“ Electric Vehicle Benefits and Costs in the United States ”—shows that the benefits of vehicle electrification vary based on vehicle type; driving style; climate; how supplying electricity is generated; and time of charge. Further, drivers should not be encouraged to charge at night in coal-heavy regions.

How EVs Are Helping Humanity & Saving Lives?

Get Electric Vehicle

The main type of battery used is Lithium-ion and when the charge is depleted the batteries can be recharged again. In fuel cell cars we do not have to recharge the battery. Instead, we have to supply hydrogen just like we fill gasoline but the car will be powered by electric motors just like a normal electric car.

PHEVLERs are the Zero CO2 Clean Green Machines of the Future

Green Car Congress

On the other hand, drivers of other vehicles waste considerable time making special trips to refuel their internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles at the liquid fuel station or their battery electric vehicle (BEV) at the rapid recharging station. Slow Level 1 charging [ 11 ] should be used to recharge PHEVLER batteries whenever possible.
