However, the authors note, to date EES (almost exclusively pumped hydroelectric storage) contributes to only about 2% of the installed generation capacity in the United States. The future grid will face significant challenges by providing clean power from intermittent resources to a much more dynamic load.

The promise of wireless charging: smaller batteries, longer battery life, fewer charging stations

Charged EVs

Underneath, EV electrical architectures share a lot in common, and our integrations are actually very straightforward, whether it’s an aftermarket accessory as a kit or, as we’re doing with Volvo Cars, an OEM-installed solution. Charged : What’s involved with installing the vehicle-side system? And it’s as simple as that.

Another application could provide “instant heat” to heat up the catalytic converters in vehicles. The module is compact and can be installed in about an hour. The use of the module also prevents the battery from deep cycling, extending the life of the battery. Two lithium-ion battery companies are working with us now.
