ŠKODA collaborates with IBG ?esko on second-life battery energy storage system; up to 328 kWh

Green Car Congress

The system allows electric vehicles to be charged quickly and flexibly, and dealers can also use the stored electricity for the lighting and air-conditioning in their showrooms and workshops. This electricity can then be used at any time with full transmission power, regardless of the weather or the current load on the local power grid.

Mitsubishi Heavy says ground test validates wireless power transmission for space solar power systems; 10 kW sent 500m by microwave

Green Car Congress

The on-ground rectifying antenna would collect the microwave beam and convert it to electricity to connect to commercial power grids. In case of microwave based SSPS (M-SSPS), the solar energy must be converted to electricity and then converted to a microwave beam. A laser beam would be sent to Earth-based hydrogen generating device.

World Bank/PRTM study finds global value chain shift resulting from vehicle electrification could favor China from technology and supply chain perspectives

Green Car Congress

The full set of such standards should not only govern the physical interface, but also take into consideration safety and power grid standards. State Grid, the largest Chinese utility, has established charging standards, but these differ from US and European standards which would add to cost and inhibit access to global markets.
