At the Zwickau vehicle plant, Volkswagen commissioned the first fast-charging park in Saxony supplied with energy largely from a power storage container (PSC). The PSC is an electricity storage unit and consists of 96 cell modules with a net capacity of 570 kWh. Residential areas are one example of where this could be used.

Vattenfall will purchase the new batteries from the BMW plant in Dingolfing and use them in all storage projects. The first energy storage from the BMW-i3 batteries is being built at the 122 MW onshore wind farm “Princess Alexia” near Amsterdam. Other possible applications would be electricity storage in private households.

One molten salt thermal storage device installed at a manufacturing facility outside Copenhagen stores electricity from the grid when it’s cheap and releases steam at 180 degrees Celsius to make cardboard. Getting a 100 percent decarbonized grid is nothing but an optimization problem.”—Matthew

The 2020 International Energy Agency’s Global EV Outlook projects that by 2030, the share of electricity going towards EV charging could rise to as high as 4–10% at peak demand. V2G returns the energy stored in EV batteries to the grid. That is the value behind the purchase of any vehicle, electric or internal combustion.

Smart EV Charging and Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G). Smart EV charging uses intelligence to manage when and how an electric vehicle plugged into a smart charger will receive power for charging based on the cost of electricity, its availability, and the needs of the driver. Advantages of Smart Energy Management for Fleets.

Upfront costs are steadily approaching parity with legacy vehicles, purchase incentives are available, and new programs at the levels of federal (IRA, BIL), state (California’s ACT and ACF) and local (city zero-emission zones) government are driving (some would say “coercing”) companies to move forward quickly. megawatt chargers?
