However, these devices are limited because they use organic solvents for the electrolyte. Besides the cost and the negative environmental impact of organic solvents, these systems cannot be incorporated with current aqueous redox flow battery systems because of their incompatible organic-solvent design.

Fuel economy and electrical energy usage will not be combined under J1711 to make a composite efficiency metric for plug-in hybrids. Instead, fuel usage and watt-hours per mile will be stated separately, with the baseline charging assumption being one energy storage charge per day for each vehicle being tested. J1772: Charging.

Because [Ford] can provide the hardware, but ultimately, our country has to decide is this where we really want to go and if so, how are we going to really develop the smart grid in a way that works and allows the utilities to actually speak to each other and trade power, ubiquity of charging and all those things.

Wont all these cars require us to build even more power plants? The Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) estimates that the current power grid could handle many tens of millions of cars plugging in at off-peak hours before wed have any capacity issues [See EPRI article PDF ]. Generally, theyll plug in at night.
