Nissan and 4R Energy develop new EV charging system combining solar and Li-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

With the new charging system, electricity is generated through solar cells installed at Nissan’s Global Headquarters, and is stored in lithium-ion batteries which are equivalent to four units of Nissan LEAFs. This is one solution to create a cycle where CO’ emissions resulting from driving is zero.

Liquid Air Energy Network forms in UK; focus on transportation and energy storage

Green Car Congress

Air can be turned into a liquid by cooling it to around -196 °C using standard industrial equipment; 700 liters of ambient air becomes about 1 liter of liquid air, which can then be stored in an unpressurised insulated vessel. The main potential applications are in electricity storage, transport and the recovery of waste heat.
