Also, they typically charge during the day, when a greater quantity of solar energy is powering the grid. Both Uber and Lyft are converting more of their fleet to electric, and Lyft recently committed to becoming 100% electric by 2030. —author Alan Jenn, a researcher at the Institute of Transportation Studies at UC Davis.

After you connect your car’s battery to a DC rapid charging station, AC or alternating current from the grid is converted and stored inside the vehicle in the form of DC or direct current. For this purpose, you either have an AC-DC converter inside the EV or a built-in converter inside the charger.

Fully electric vehicles are zero-emission and their batteries can be charged using renewable energy. This is cleaner and better for the environment than producing petrol and diesel. The UK also hopes to connect more and more EVs to the electricity grid to share power at peak times, in something called vehicle to grid charging (V2G).

They are highly automated production islands that directly convert wind energy to hydrogen, with a few of them processing the gas into fuels and other goods. Airplanes, for example, won’t be able to fly long distances on battery power. Hydrogen is thus greasing the wheels of the global transition to cleaner energy.
