False Starts: The Story of Vehicle-to-Grid Power

Cars That Think

The need for large-scale electrochemical energy storage as a grid-stabilizing source of demand disappeared. When utilities considered storage technology at all in the succeeding decades, it was generally in the form of pumped-storage hydropower, an expensive piece of infrastructure that could be built only in hilly terrain.

Hydrogen Cars vs Electric Cars – Who Is Going to Rule the Market?

Get Electric Vehicle

Because hydrogen cars have a tightly packed energy storage system, they can often go greater distances. Yes, hydrogen fuel cells don’t emit any harmful gases themselves but the process of juicing up an HFC with energy does produce a lot of harmful gases and other byproducts. Hurdle No 2: The Sustainability Dilemma.
