Tesla car batteries are being used in a study on how EVs could help power the grid

Teslarati

Tesla owners from the United States, Australia, Norway, Canada, Germany, Sweden, and Britain could take part in the study. This suggests that there are opportunities to store energy and export power to the grid using solutions such as vehicle-to-grid chargers.

Chalmers team develops graphite-like anode for Na-ion batteries; Janus graphene

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, have developed a nanometric graphite-like anode for sodium ion (Na + storage), formed by stacked graphene sheets functionalized only on one side, termed Janus graphene. The estimated sodium storage up to C 6.9 Na is comparable to graphite for standard lithium ion batteries.
