Cars That Think

MARCH 11, 2023

The need for large-scale electrochemical energy storage as a grid-stabilizing source of demand disappeared. When utilities considered storage technology at all in the succeeding decades, it was generally in the form of pumped-storage hydropower, an expensive piece of infrastructure that could be built only in hilly terrain.

With the initiation of the EFRCs in April 2008, the Department of Energy (DOE) budgeted approximately $100 million for multiple EFRC awards starting in FY 2009. Of the 46 EFRCs, DOE plans to fund 30 annually for five years at a total cost per year of $100 million—i.e., University of Delaware. Northwestern University.

The costs and benefits of cars extend far beyond an individual driver to society as a whole. And utilities are increasingly being mandated to increase their percentage of power from renewable sources. A combination solution: increasingly renewable electricity as the primary fuel and ethanol as the range extender.

“I would say that electricity is a vastly superior fuel for the light vehicle fleet,” said Willett Kempton , a professor and alternative energy specialist at the University of Delaware. “It would help stabilize the energy flows, so you don’t come up against the limits of the grid. The infrastructure is already there.&#
