Along with providing high power discharge capabilities, the P40 can also be recharged from a 0% state of charge (SOC) to 90% SOC in less than an hour. The P40-24 offers numerous advantages over lead-acid battery powered UPS systems, such as a smaller footprint, longer life and higher operating temperature capabilities, the company says.

Dr. Goodenough invented lithium cobalt oxide cathode materials while at Oxford University; his technology was used in the first commercial Li-ion battery, launched by Sony in 1991. This interim solution would offer a distributed store of electrical energy that can spread the cost of storing off-peak power in a rechargeable battery.

The concept behind V2G had gained traction in the late 1990s after California’s landmark zero-emission-vehicle (ZEV) mandate went into effect and compelled automakers to commercialize electric cars. The need for large-scale electrochemical energy storage as a grid-stabilizing source of demand disappeared.

When considering electric vehicles for a commercial or government fleet, fleet owners and managers must always ask, “How much will this cost?” Gas cars typically use a lead-acid battery (which receives a limited charge from the vehicle alternator ), while EVs use a lithium-ion battery (which does not require an alternator).
