French electricity producer CNR and Renault enter partnership on recharging with renewable power, end-of-life battery secondary use

Green Car Congress

CNR has created the Move in Pure package that has the threefold advantage of providing remote recharging of electric vehicle batteries, guaranteeing the consumer that the energy used comes from the company’s hydroelectricity, wind power or solar production, and ensuring that the French national electricity grid (RTE) remains balanced.

Mitsubishi and Tokyo Institute of Technology Developing EV Smart Charging from Wind Turbines

Green Car Congress

and the Tokyo Institute of Technology are developing a smart charging system to exploit wind power produced at night to charge electric vehicles. In order to store electricity generated at night, windmill operators need to install sodium-sulfur battery systems, which are as costly as power generators. Mitsubishi Corp.

Will Supercapacitors Come to AI's Rescue?

Cars That Think

Banks of supercapacitors can store energy on short timescales (purple), compensating for AIs power bursts and creating a smoother power demand on the grid (red). However, much like a phone battery degrades after multiple recharge cycles, lithium-ion batteries degrade quickly when charging and discharging at this high rate.
