The Net-Zero Neighborhood: Advanced Energy Storage and Highly Efficient Photovoltaics Take Transportation Off the Gasoline Grid and Residential Off the Electric Grid

Green Car Congress

The NZN concept relies on high energy density storage systems incorporated into the local grid, as well as efficient photovoltaic generation. NZN can integrate with the centralized grid. batteries); the creation of grid-enabled consumer-side energy generation appliances; and a robust set of standards and protocols.

We Need More Than Just Electric Vehicles

Cars That Think

The total cost of purchasing and driving one—the cost of ownership—has fallen nearly to parity with a typical gasoline-fueled car. Scientists and engineers have extended the range of EVs by cramming ever more energy into their batteries, and vehicle charging networks have expanded in many countries. EVs have finally come of age.

Southern California Edison introduces clean energy proposal to meet state’s climate, air quality goals; >7M EVs (24%) by 2030

Green Car Congress

The Clean Power and Electrification Pathway calls for three closely linked efforts that support and build upon each other: Doubling the use of carbon-free electricity from 40% today to 80% by 2030, supported by energy storage. Reduced gasoline demand will also provide the benefit of reducing industrial emissions from refineries.
