Then, as now, wind farms are operating off the world’s coasts—but not all of these offshore sites are connected to the mainland via underwater power cables. They are highly automated production islands that directly convert wind energy to hydrogen, with a few of them processing the gas into fuels and other goods.

After you connect your car’s battery to a DC rapid charging station, AC or alternating current from the grid is converted and stored inside the vehicle in the form of DC or direct current. For this purpose, you either have an AC-DC converter inside the EV or a built-in converter inside the charger.
