JERA and Toyota deploy first large capacity Sweep Energy Storage System with second-life batteries

Green Car Congress

The system was built using batteries reclaimed from electrified vehicles (HEV, PHEV, BEV, FCEV) and is connected to the consumer electrical power grid. That contributes to reducing costs and helps avoid power loss when converting from AC to DC by PCS, with the aim of improving effective energy use.

In the process, the retailers help themselves with renewed interest in visiting the fuel retails even with EVs. EV chargers are divided into two key types: AC chargers and DC fast chargers. Some models will take several hours to charge if plugged into a charger, others need a few minutes only when plugged into a DC charger.

California Energy Commission awards more than $1.8M additional funding to further UCSD microgrid project; energy storage, EV charging and V2G services are components

Green Car Congress

The Commission also approved funding of $220,554 to expand the campus’ burgeoning charging network for plug-in electric vehicles, through the Commission’s Alternative and Renewable Fuel and Vehicle Technology Program, created by Assembly Bill 118. This will reduce the indirect cost of solar power to California ratepayers.
