The Green Piece Column. With electric cars inching ever closer to a mainstream reality, questions are raised as to how the grid will cope with increased demand. In 2009, for example, the US Stimulus Plan helped finance research into energy storage with [.]. August 22, 2011.
Because robust grid integration is essential for widespread customer acceptance of electric vehicles, Chrysler has enlisted the involvement of key utility partners, including Duke, ConEd and DTE. These electric minivan concepts are targeted specifically for use by the US Postal Service for mail delivery.
Our headquarters is in America, but many of our core customer relationships are in Europe, and it now becomes crucial to establish ourselves with a commanding presence in a market where we expect to aggressively build our business both in automotive and in the fast growing market of electricity grid storage and infrastructure.
The two promotional initiatives are part of the German federal government’s second economic stimulus package. The technology optimises the CO 2 balance of the vans with certified green electricity, or even surplus wind energy (“Wind-to-Vehicle/W2V”).
Electric cars and a smart electric grid have a bright future, according to panelists at a roundtable discussion on the subject that I attended last Friday in Boston. “I Vehicle-to-grid is, I believe, the salvation of the automotive industry in the United States,” declared Marc Spitzer, an agency commissioner who was also on the panel.
If you listen to US President Barack Obama it has been a long time coming – his decision to pour $2.4billion of stimulus money to make America a global leader in electric and hybrid car development comes as the country plays catch up to the likes of Japan and even China in the green car race (see article ). “I Who will benefit?
