IHS Markit: average cost of lithium-ion battery cell to fall below $100/kWh in 2023

Green Car Congress

The average cost of a Li-ion battery cell—used to power electric vehicles and to provide flexibility in the power grid as more renewables, such as solar and wind, are added will fall below $100 per kilowatt hour (kWh) in the next three years, according to a new analysis by IHS Markit. Cost is the name of the game.

Hydro-Québec and Sony forming JV to develop large-scale Li-ion energy storage system for power grids

Green Car Congress

Hydro-Québec and Sony Corporation will establish a joint venture to research and develop a large-scale energy storage system for power grids. Furthermore, the energy storage system for such power supplies must be highly safe and reliable due to the need for an efficient and stable source of high capacity power.

Lightweight electromobile with ROHACELL body crosses Australia almost exclusively on wind energy

Green Car Congress

The Wind Explorer pilot vehicle is a two-seated electromobile that weighs just 200 kg (441 lbs) and with a range of 400 kilometers (249 miles) per battery charge. Its lithium-ion batteries, based on yet another Evonik technology, are charged by a mobile wind turbine or in the conventional way from the power grid.

Will Supercapacitors Come to AI's Rescue?

Cars That Think

These coordinated spikes can strain the power grid, and the issue is promising to get worse rather than better in the near future. AI workloads sometimes use power in short bursts, causing the power grid to see a wildly oscillating load (blue). Some of these products are already deployed at data centers.

AC Propulsion sends eBox EV to Denmark for V2G research focused on buffering intermittent renewable energy

Green Car Congress

AC Propulsion has delivered an AC Propulsion-powered eBox to the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), where it will be used to evaluate Vehicle to Grid (V2G) operation as part of a research program. With V2G, for example, a fleet of EVs plugged in to the grid could balance the variable ups and downs of power generated from the wind.

Highview Power and Encore Renewable Energy to co-develop the first long-duration, liquid-air energy storage system in US

Green Car Congress

When electricity is in high demand and more valuable, the pressurized gas is allowed to warm, turning a turbine as it expands and thus generating energy that can be used at peak times when the sun is not shining and the wind is not blowing.
