Cars That Think

DECEMBER 30, 2021

2021 was a big year for energy-related news, what with the ongoing hunt for new forms of energy storage and cleaner if not carbon-free electricity and events and research that spotlighted the weak links in our power grid. This article, by researchers at PARC and the University of Washington, is one possible answer.

Under the new contracts, the teams will now develop concepts and models that can be tested in computer simulations, laboratories and wind tunnels. The work is funded by NASA’s Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate in Washington. Hybrid electric propulsion also has the potential to shorten takeoff distance and reduce noise.

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.

French construction company Bouygues Immobilier is working on an office in Meudon, western Paris, which uses 4,000 square metres of solar panels to meet not only its own energy needs but also to export surplus energy back to the power grid. Wind, solar and nuclear could easily change our electrical sources.
