The Net-Zero Neighborhood: Advanced Energy Storage and Highly Efficient Photovoltaics Take Transportation Off the Gasoline Grid and Residential Off the Electric Grid

Green Car Congress

The NZN concept relies on high energy density storage systems incorporated into the local grid, as well as efficient photovoltaic generation. NZN can integrate with the centralized grid. batteries); the creation of grid-enabled consumer-side energy generation appliances; and a robust set of standards and protocols.

EV Everywhere Blueprint outlines DOE technical and development goals for EVs for 2022

Green Car Congress

The US Department of Energy (DOE) released the EV Everywhere Grand Challenge Blueprint , which describes plug-in vehicle (PEV) technology and deployment barriers, and provides an outline for DOE’s technical and deployment goals for electric vehicles to 2022. Reducing the cost of electric drive systems from $30/kW to $8/kW.
