Volvo CE and Rolls-Royce develop wood-burning charger for off-grid EVs

Baua Electric

When work is being done off the grid in remote locations, it can be hard to keep construction equipment fueled up – regardless of whether that fuel is liquid or electric. The resulting heat is converted into electric energy and stored in a connected Battery Storage Module, or BSM. Enter: the BioCharger.

BMW, Ford, Honda to Form New EV Charging Company

The Truth About Cars

The service also seeks to return excess energy to the electrical grid, effectively converting EVs into publicly shared batteries. Logistically, this would help soften the blow for public utilities hoping to deliver energy when demand surges throughout the day.

Blink Charging

Department of Energy’s Alternative Fuels Data Center, the United States has around 50,000 public EV charging stations—far short of what is needed to support the Administration’s 2030 target. In the Vehicle to Grid scenario, an electric vehicle can charge during off-peak hours when demand on the energy grid is lower.

Cars That Think

Connect the two superconductors, and you have yourself a Josephson-junction loop. Information storage, the Josephson-junction-based version of SRAM in CPU cache, also stores single flux quanta. To store one bit, two Josephson-junction loops need to be placed next to each other.

OSU team develops new aqueous lithium-iodine solar flow battery; 20% energy savings over Li-I batteries

Green Car Congress

The new aqueous lithium−iodine (Li−I) solar flow battery (SFB) incorporates a built-in dye-sensitized TiO 2 photoelectrode in a Li−I redox flow battery via linkage of an I 3 − /I − based catholyte for the simultaneous conversion and storage of solar energy. Various kinds of solar fuels have been actively explored.
