AC Propulsion’s president, Tom Gage, explains the company’s vehicle-to-grid technology at a 2001 conference in Seattle. In one experiment involving a large lithium-ion battery, the control computer fully charged or discharged the unit in a matter of minutes, leaving no spare capacity to regulate the grid.

GMs program relies on lithium-ion battery technology that Gioia called "cost, weight and package prohibitive." August 9, 2007 (Multiple reports on speech and press conference by GM Vice Chairman Bob Lutz) Lutz said his goal is for GM to develop a plug in hybrid on sale by 2010. The biggest barrier is the battery."

70 percent of lithium-ion batteries are produced in China, which derived 64 percent of its electricity from coal in 2020. The manufacture of lithium batteries for EVs, like those shown here, is energy intensive, as is the mining and refining of the raw materials. An EV operated in Yunnan emits about 60 percent less.

One wonders if the recent headway at MIT in building lithium ion cells using ?virus? Forget the black helicopter conspiracies. Its been improving over time, but the power density and cost issues are still steep for what exists thus far. based technology will actually achieve any economy in production. Interesting in any case.
