The batteries also use up to 50% less lead and produce 80% less CO 2 during the manufacturing process. Bi-polar lead-acid batteries approach the storage densities of NiMH, but at lower cost. Bi-polar batteries are 100% recyclable and will be significantly cheaper than other battery types under development such as lithium technologies.

An electric power storage company setting up in a place called Sparks just cannot happen. It’s a modular building made of four different parts that can flex and withstand a natural disaster, or maybe a nuclear strike if the power company gets really mad. The Tesla Gigafactory will use geothermal and wind power, too.

The level of power supplied to chargers and energy utilization are visually displayed and can be adjusted according to EV and site requirements as well as constraints. This can also avoid penalties levied by the utility for over-stressing the grid and requiring the utility to purchase expensive power from the general capacity market.

Examples of this are the sustainable carbon-fiber-sugar composite material used for the upper part of the battery, which is also used in Formula 1, and the BIONEQXX rear floor, manufactured using an aluminum casting process. The light metal structural component replaces a much heavier assembly of several interconnected parts.

Such cities would become self-contained units, their buildings gleaning energy from the powerful weather systems sweeping across their roofs and feeding it down to homes below and vehicles in the streets. Electric cars in the garages would double as battery packs for when energy supplies are scarce. The elegance of that is wonderful.

The three leading new options to re-supply our autos with energy are charging at home, battery swap stations and fast charge stations. Obviously, with replaceable battery packs, they can both be charged at the optimal time and always be hanging around to serve as valuable electrical power storage for the grid.
