To compensate for the increased amounts of these inherently–variable sources of electricity, the power grid requires additional flexibility to manage fluctuations in generation. But allowing grid operators to control electric vehicle charging speed could reduce these costs further. —Weis et al.

It’s very similar to the infrastructure for electric cars because the idea, ultimately, for electric cars is that you also are revamping your grid to facilitate, whatchamacallit, intermittent renewable energy sources, like wind and solar, because having an electric car that runs off a coal-fired power plant is defeating the purpose, essentially.

While high barriers to entry will likely prevent Chinese automakers from developing a significant global position in an industry where internal combustion engines are the dominant propulsion source.China is likely to benefit in the EV drivetrain components value chain. This is largely due to China’s strength in batteries and motors.

The winds had barely died down when electric-power specialists and others began calling for a radical overhaul of Puerto Rico’s electricity networks, one that would emphasize renewable energy, distributed generation, and, critically, microgrids. A microgrid is like a miniaturized, tightly controlled version of a power grid.

ChargePoint’s stance is bolstered by a new MIT study that suggests , in part, that electric cars that plug into the grid, could, collectively, act as a massive “virtual battery” for grid energy storage. In the power grid, supply and demand need to match exactly. ChargePoint envisions that at scale—i.e.,
