While OEMs and utilities continue to define and refine hardware standards and communication protocols for smart charging, a tremendous amount of work needs to be done in preparing both the grid and the process to accommodate the expected influx of plug-ins, and to make the process as easy as possible for consumers. —Peter Darbee.

At present, PHEV technology alone is equipped to improve the current electric grid. The car can refuel during periods of low demand on the grid, and if equipped with a bi-directional charger, can actually replenish the grid with excess energy gleaned from a renewable resource. slow charge.

In Li-ion batteries, Li ions (Li + ) leave the cathode during charging and move through the electrolyte and separator to intercalate into the anode. Cathode chemistry is one of the main variables in determining Li-ion battery performance with at least eight different sub chemistries being actively pursued within the industry.

The Torrance Hillside Overlay district , covers most of the historic Hollywood Riviera neighborhood where the Creative Greenius lives and I can tell you that it’s a zoning law that is pure politics. I would have thought we would be beyond that point and further along in understanding the solar industry, but apparently I’m wrong.

The grid today could handle many millions of EVs charging late at night when rates are lowest. By 2012, we should have made some progress on this, just in time to re-elect Obama to his second term. To be honest, we’ll be very lucky to see that many. Smart meters and electric cars: a match made in efficiency.

The three leading new options to re-supply our autos with energy are charging at home, battery swap stations and fast charge stations. The method that should seem most natural is charging at home. Hit the jump for a comparison that includes plenty of pics and video.
