Electrochemical energy storage startup SPARKZ licenses ORNL cobalt-free battery tech

Green Car Congress

Stealth-mode electrochemical energy storage startup SPARKZ Inc. has exclusively licensed five battery technologies from the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) designed to eliminate the use of cobalt metal in lithium-ion batteries. SPARKZ Inc. I look at this as a very strategic partnership.

False Starts: The Story of Vehicle-to-Grid Power

Cars That Think

They wanted to see whether an electric vehicle could feed electricity back to the grid. The company’s president, Tom Gage , dubbed the system “vehicle to grid” or V2G. And EV owners would become entrepreneurs, selling electricity back to the grid. And indeed, that’s how promoters of vehicle-to-grid technology perceive the EV.

Delta kicks off DOE-sponsored program to develop microgrid-capable solid state transformer-based 400 kW fast chargers for EVs; XFC

Green Car Congress

The proposed XFC design is expected to offer grid-to-vehicle efficiency up to 96.5%—four —four times less weight and half the size of conventional DC fast EV chargers (DCFC), as well as a high voltage direct current (HVDC) port to utilize energy storage and renewable energy systems, minimizing demand on the power grid.

Wind-to-Hydrogen Tech Goes to Sea

Cars That Think

In contrast, electricity produced by offshore wind power typically requires multiple conversions and transmission across long distances before it’s fed into the grid or an electrolyzer onshore, processes that siphon off power and reduce efficiency. H2Mare will also look into initial strategies for managing a small island grid.
