The service also seeks to return excess energy to the electrical grid, effectively converting EVs into publicly shared batteries. This could likewise help circumvent some of the ecological issues associated with battery production and disposal by reducing the total number required to keep the energy grid functioning.

The charging voltage reduction translates to energy savings of close to 20% compared to conventional Li−I batteries. This concept, the researchers notes in their paper in the Journal of the American Chemical Society , also serves as a guiding design that can be extended to other metal-redox flow battery systems.
