In New Zealand, the Ministry for the Environment and the New Zealand Automobile Associatio n are working together to ensure that old EV batteries are handled in an environmentally responsible way. If you want to learn more about whether EV’s are good for the environment, check out our previous resource here. How would the scheme work?

To make it clear, in a unidirectional (one-way) EV charger, electricity flows from the electric grid into the electric vehicle and with a bidirectional (two-way) EV charger, electricity can flow both ways. Let’s put it this way, if you’ve already paid to charge your vehicle, why not use the left-over power to run your home too?

This approach minimizes energy waste, effectively reducing energy costs on a day-to-day basis. This system can enable energy produced from solar panels to be used more efficiently. In 2013, BMW and the University of San Diego installed a micro grid application with Battery 2nd Life MINI E batteries.

Wind and solar parks produce a large portion of their energy. Then, as now, wind farms are operating off the world’s coasts—but not all of these offshore sites are connected to the mainland via underwater power cables. That won’t be easy, given the extremely dynamic environment these platforms will have to function in.

Commissioner Reilly, who will be talking about solar, doesn’t seem to know the big efficiency differences between PV modules, thin film solar or integrated solar roof tiles. She isn’t aware of current state laws on solar shading either. Oh we got trouble, Right here in Torrance! With a capital “T&#.

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.
