Increasingly, they are making inroads in transportation and grid storage applications. The number of available electric-vehicle (EV) models jumped from about ten in 2015 to over 75 in 2020, including categories of sports cars, sedans, SUVs and light trucks. Automotive companies and their supply chain are inexorably transforming.

For decades, Americans have relied on electricity for light, heat, and cooking. Future generations will increasingly rely on the grid to power their vehicles. Consequently, power grid stability and resilience have caught the public’s attention as the demand for electricity and energy-consuming technologies continues to rise.

At COP27, he said that even though the first legally binding international treaty on climate change, known as the Paris Agreement , was adopted nearly a decade ago, countries have yet to come to a consensus on how to stop burning fossil fuels, among other issues. France sells energy to Italy, Spain, and Switzerland,” Rahman said.

Simultaneous conversion and storage of solar energy marks a significant advance toward practical solar energy usage. Various kinds of solar fuels have been actively explored. However, challenges with hydrogen storage and the cost of fuel cells make those systems complicated and difficult for implementation.

Also, besides giving you the ability to charge at night when most utility rates are lower, future vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology may allow you to sell some of your stored energy back to the utilities. The demands on the grid would require a lot of infrastructure work without some sort of "energy reservoir" in place.
