Harvard team demonstrates new metal-free organic–inorganic aqueous flow battery; potential breakthrough for low-cost grid-scale storage

Green Car Congress

In a paper in Nature , they suggest that the use of such redox-active organic molecules instead of redox-active metals represents a new and promising direction for realizing massive electrical energy storage at greatly reduced cost. The same technology could also have applications at the consumer level, Marshak said.

How Smart EV Charging Will Help Promote Renewable Power Generation

Wallbox

A smart EV charger will enable an EV to be charged when weather conditions allow and there is a surfeit of low carbon, low cost power available. Similarly, because a smart EV charger can adapt charging speed and time, it can also help minimise demand on the grid when renewable-generated power is low.
