False Starts: The Story of Vehicle-to-Grid Power

Cars That Think

They wanted to see whether an electric vehicle could feed electricity back to the grid. The company’s president, Tom Gage , dubbed the system “vehicle to grid” or V2G. And EV owners would become entrepreneurs, selling electricity back to the grid. And with the revival of the EV, the V2G concept was reborn.

Wind-to-Hydrogen Tech Goes to Sea

Cars That Think

And the Norwegian company H2Carrier recently received approval in principle for its concept for an industrial-scale floating production unit to make green ammonia at sea. Because there’s no grid connection, the platforms will basically operate as small, isolated power grids and therefore have to handle any sudden surges in power.

What Is Vehicle-to-Grid Technology and How Does It Work?

EV Connect

Yet it places unprecedented demand on our electrical grid. Just to drive 100 miles, the average electric vehicle (EV) uses the same amount of electricity that it takes to power a typical U.S. Power companies and government agencies are working hard to meet this demand, but it’s a challenging task. home for a day.
