MIT team studies grid impacts of concentrated highway EV fast charging

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the MIT Energy Initiative have investigated the grid impacts of scaled up highway fast-charging (HFC) infrastructure by using an operations model of the 2033 Texas power grid with uniquely high spatial and temporal resolution. Transmission network upgrades can also effectively mitigate grid-HFC interactions.

How everyday people can help reduce the need for fossil fuels on hot days!

Green Energy Consumers

As we begin to see temperatures rise above 90°F this summer, skyrocketing demand on the power grid leads to increased fossil fuel consumption and increased wholesale prices (which ultimately get passed onto retail customers – us). Peaks” on a given summer day refers to the hour that demand was highest (for example, 6 PM).
