In the US, 36% of electricity is generated using renewables, including wind, solar, and hydropower, as well as non-CO2-emitting nuclear power. Beyond environmental benefits, vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology will help stabilize the grid and meet increased demand for electricity to power from EVs.

By cutting red tape and avoiding costs for construction and electrical work, combined with free solar energy, Beam Global says its EV ARC systems can offer customers a lower total cost of ownership compared to grid-tied charging stations. This may well be the case with the EV ARC, a solar-powered off-grid charging station made by Beam Global.

It’s very similar to the infrastructure for electric cars because the idea, ultimately, for electric cars is that you also are revamping your grid to facilitate, whatchamacallit, intermittent renewable energy sources, like wind and solar, because having an electric car that runs off a coal-fired power plant is defeating the purpose, essentially.

In fact, an EV in the New Zealand fleet emits 83% fewer greenhouse gases than a comparable ICEV during its time on the road. If it’s manufactured on a ‘dirty’ power grid it becomes a major source of emissions over the EV lifecycle. The New Zealand Power Grid. Alternative EV Charging Methods in New Zealand.

The global merchant fleet currently consumes around 330 million tonnes of fuel annually, 80-85 per cent of which is residual fuel with high sulfur content. While renewable energy, particularly solar and wind, may have some potential to mitigate carbon emissions, this is not seen as a viable large-scale alternative for commercial shipping.
