A very interesting point shown here is the extremely large amount of overall energy storage/saving capacity that will be in the EVs themselves and the questions of how to “leverage” that, by bi-directional charging, for example.
What else could be possible here?
Huge grids powered by “undriven” EVs, whilst their owners receive cashback?
- ZeroGravitas 4y agoJust demand shifting of charging will have a big impact. EVs are a battery and and a computer on wheels. Charging automatically when the grid is cheap and green is going to really help the roll out of renewables.
- tromp 4y ago> The cumulative storage available from the EV fleet is so large that if it were all available, it would saturate revenues in the power system. This means there is likely a limit to the share of vehicles that charge bi-directionally. Having too much EV battery capacity available to support grid energy storage seems like a very nice problem to have and should further boost investments in wind and solar. I hope that bidirectional charging ports become a requirement on all high-priced future housing.
