Baker Institute report: China has positioned itself as a gatekeeper to the energy transition; nickel case study

Green Car Congress

Widely ignored, although gaining attention, is China’s strategic positioning as a crucial gatekeeper to several key “green” technologies, including battery energy storage to support electric vehicles (EVs)—specifically, battery electric vehicles (BEVs)—along with stationary storage for power grids.

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

Cars That Think

It occurred in the wake of the California electricity crisis of 2000 and 2001, when mismanaged deregulation, market manipulation, and environmental catastrophe combined to unhinge the power grid. And indeed, that’s how promoters of vehicle-to-grid technology perceive the EV.

Smokey the AI

Cars That Think

While some of these fires started from human carelessness—or arson—far too many were sparked and spread by the electrical power infrastructure and power lines. Power companies trim trees and inspect lines on a regular—if not particularly frequent—basis. That takes them away from their jobs of doing maintenance in the field.

How Long Do Electric Car Batteries Last?

Blink Charging

The first batteries could power vehicles to “neck-breaking” speeds of up to 14 mph. None of these problems remain today, and most EVs are as powerful as petrol-fueled vehicles. An EV battery doesn’t look much different from the one you have currently powering your smartphone. This prototype uses a lead-acid mixture. Miles Ahead.

How EVs Are Reducing Carbon (CO2) Emissions

Blink Charging

Another study found that if people choose to charge their EVs during times when there’s less demand on the power grid, we could cut emissions by another 18% – and maybe even allow EVs to support the grid. Let’s not forget our carbon footprint. They can be charged using clean energy, reducing their environmental impact.
