The long-term goal is to achieve up to 300 kW of charging capacity—enabling a quick recharge in roughly 6 minutes. The development engineers are also investigating how the constant switching on and off of the batteries affects the power grid; the harmonics this generates could knock the grid out of sync.

Thus equipped, this eRUF will feature a bi-directional grid connection, which will allow it to be recharged in about two hours at a 400-volt electrical outlet—without the extra electrical circuitry typically required for recharging—and also permit it to feed energy back into the power grid via the same socket.

Most recently, Toyota announced that its fuel cell sedan would also be available in the UK, USA, Germany and Denmark during the summer of 2015. This renewable production capacity is increasingly important to ensure the existing power grid can accept more renewable sources. It’s time to debunk a number of myths.

There are at least a half dozen different technologies to power cars with electricity under construction. Better Place is building stations in San Francisco, Hawaii, Israel, and Denmark to swap out 1,000 pound batteries in a car wash type set up. The electricity for recharging has to come from somewhere, which means power plants.

A key thing, he said, will be to recharge the batteries at an acceptable time for the electricity grid — to “make sure people aren’t charging at the very peak, peak time,” like late afternoon when the electricity grid is already weighted down by demands like air conditioning.
