February 17, 2009 10:39 am Link I think within a very short time the need for electricity will stabilize because of all the changes by conservation, minimal population growth in the industrialized countries, and better transmission from power sources. Wind, solar and nuclear could easily change our electrical sources.
Many companies continue to try and improve batteries, not just for EVs, but for powerstorage in general. To see the full list of requirements, visit the Department of Energy’s website. Battery Improvements. As batteries get better, we are likely to see the new and improved ones make their way into EVs. .
As powerstorage technologies catch up with today’s requirements, the entire power infrastructure will be able to leverage even more opportunities in the flexibility market when it comes to the EV charging environment. Smart energy management and smart EV charging are already established as solutions to address grid demands.
For example, based on the type of EV powerstorage infrastructure they select, businesses can sell power back to the grid during times of peak demand or offer public charging during off-hours. Investing in smart EV charging brings long-term capital and operating benefits to businesses.
And, you have to recognize that they pull a hell of a lot of power through the local grid: there will come a time when we will see utility transformers popping from all the current being drawn (imagine just a few dozen EVs fast-charging simultaneously, on 480V at 500A: wow).
