APC has also published a separate power electronics insights report. An onboard charger (OBC) takes AC power from the electrical grid and converts it to DC for storage on the vehicle’s battery. These are typically low power devices (3-7 kW), but high power on a FCEV. These are typically rated at 3-23 kW.

There have been vigorous debates pro and con in the United States and elsewhere over whether electric grids can support EVs at scale. Without smart meters—that is, Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI), which will be introduced into Palo Alto in 2024—the utility has little to no household peak load insights.

The technology could fundamentally transform the way electricity is stored on the grid, making power from renewable energy sources such as wind and sun far more economical and reliable. This project illustrates what the synergy of high-throughput quantum chemistry and experimental insight can do.

Methanization works by producing methane (CH 4 ) and water (H 2 O) by catalytic conversion from carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) and hydrogen (H 2 ). The gaseous product of the methanization reaction thus contains a few percent hydrogen, which prevents direct feeding into the gas grid; the hydrogen must first be removed.

Utilities will also benefit, as the IT platform provides interoperable standards and payment support, reducing potential management issues with financial settlement and international conversion. This is part of the broader European Recovery Plan to reduce CO 2 emissions by 60% by the year 2050.

Essentially, it acts like a translator, taking the language of the grid (AC) and turning it into the language of the EV battery (DC). While heavier chargers may offer faster charging speeds, this advantage comes with a trade-off – the potential inefficiency arising from increased energy losses during the conversion process.
