Profiteering Hampers U.S. Grid Expansion

Cars That Think

The deficit is driving up electricity prices, reducing grid reliability, and hobbling renewable energy deployment. grids demands public scrutiny and accountability. The cost of the project, estimated at US $1.9 These DC projects sidestep the utility-dominated transmission-expansion planning processes.

How HummingbirdEV uses modular platforms and micro-factories to lower the cost of commercial EVs

Charged EVs

How do you increase grid reliability, and how do you manage the peak hours? And we also have a fast vehicle-to-vehicle DC charging protocol that is unique to us. We hear a lot about vehicle-to-grid and vehicle-to-building, but what’s the application for vehicle-to-vehicle charging? And that’s with a handful of vehicles.

How Automotive Dealerships Can Save Money with Battery Energy Storage

Blink Charging

Paired with renewable energy sources like solar, wind, or other energy sources, facilities can use the BES system to store and harness solar power or as a backup power source by storing energy from the grid. For instance, on-peak price may be $0.15 Installing a BESS on-site helps alleviate this grid demand for EV charging.

More details about California’s proposal requiring bidirectional charging capabilities for all EVs

Charged EVs

In recent testimony, Nuvve CEO Gregory Poilasne told the lawmakers that bidirectional charging can reduce the total cost of EV ownership, and that it’s essential for integrating more renewable energy into the grid. Then it takes the DC from the bus, or car, and converts it back to AC to provide power for the grid.
