800-Volt EV Charging: The ?Other Palliative for Range Anxiety ???

Cars That Think

The Hyundai and Kia can also perform vehicle-to-load (V2L) charging, using up to 80 percent of stored energy to power electronics, small appliances, and even another EV, though with a modest 3.6-kW For my own recent test, a mere 150-kW EA charger at a Target in New Jersey had to suffice.

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

Get Electric Vehicle

Consider them the maestro of all the operations that take place within the car for it to have the energy to drive. Vaguely stated, fuel cells convert stored hydrogen gas into energy by combining it with oxygen. Because hydrogen cars have a tightly packed energy storage system, they can often go greater distances.

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

Cars That Think

Electricity is a commodity that is bought and sold, and yet unlike most other commodities, it cannot easily be stored. The need for large-scale electrochemical energy storage as a grid-stabilizing source of demand disappeared. Once electricity is generated and passes into the grid, it is typically used almost immediately.

The Importance of Managed EV Charging

EV Match

Vehicle to X (V2X), where X can be load (L), home (H), another vehicle (V), or the grid (G), is an emerging technology that can distribute stored energy to the device in need. Since EVs have an immense amount of stored electricity, with V2X, they can re-direct that power back to other things. What is V2X?

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. Currently, there are some industrial facilities that use battery swapping to replenish the energy stores of electric forklifts.
