The article provided an overview of recent advancements in utilizing reinforcement learning to manage the energy of Connected Hybrid Electric Vehicles (#CHEVs). It first emphasized the increasing popularity of Hybrid Electric Vehicles (#HEVs), which presents an opportunity for transforming transportation energy systems to reduce environmental issues associated with fossil fuel consumption. Efficient Energy Management Systems (EMS) are required to optimize energy efficiency. The article discussed the evolution of EMS from HEVs to CHEVs, highlighting the complex energy collaboration requirements of CHEVs, necessitating advanced algorithms for route optimization, charging coordination, and load allocation. Despite extensive research, few reviews cover the transition from single-vehicle to multi-vehicle scenarios. This paper aimed to fill this gap, highlighting the potential of RL in addressing these challenges, particularly the application of Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL) in dealing with the complexity of CED control. The article also discussed current challenges and potential solutions, emphasizing the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration in developing RL-based EMS solutions to shape future environmentally friendly transportation systems.   Find out more: https://lnkd.in/gwMkpCZt #IJAMM #openaccess #reinforcement learning

Nissan to launch low-cost Vehicle to Grid technology in 2026: Nissan announced it will launch affordable on-board bi-directional charging on selected electric vehicles starting in 2026. The Vehicle to Grid (V2G) technology allows EV owners to use electricity stored in their car’s battery to power their homes or sell it back to the grid. This technology will first launch in the UK, with plans to expand to other European markets. Nissan reports that its extensive experience in V2G includes around 40 pilot projects conducted worldwide over the past decade.

Amprius Technologies, Inc.: Over the past few years, I've encountered numerous claims about revolutionary battery technologies, often falling short of expectations. However, Amprius Technologies has announced developments that could truly transform the electric vehicle (EV) landscape: Rapid Charging: Capable of reaching up to 90% charge in just 15 minutes. Extended Range: Potentially doubling the range, pushing EV travel distances well over 1000 km. These high-energy-density batteries are now being shipped for various applications. It's promising to see such advancements moving from concept to reality. Perhaps we're witnessing the end of mere "vaporware" in battery technology. https://lnkd.in/e4pnsMWU #EV #Automotive

Nissan Motor Corporation has announced it will introduce affordable onboard bi-directional charging on selected #electricvehicles from 2026. The Vehicle to Grid (#V2G) technology enables #EV owners to use electricity stored in their car's battery to power their homes or sell it back into the grid. Hugues Desmarchelier, Nissan vice president, global electrification ecosystem and EV programs, said, "Nissan is proud to democratize technology for the benefit of society. The breakthrough in an onboard solution for two-way charging will be a substantial reduction in the cost of integrating a future EV into your energy supply, and the ability to leverage the car as a source of income over its lifecycle."

🔋 EV Batteries Outlasting Vehicles? It’s Happening! 🚗💨 Recent studies show EV batteries are going the distance—literally. 📊 On average, they degrade by just 1.8% per year, meaning many batteries could last 20+ years—well beyond the typical lifespan of the vehicle itself (12-15 years). 🌍 This could be a game-changer for the renewable energy sector! 💡 Not only can we expect less waste, but there are opportunities for repurposing these batteries for home or business energy storage. 💼🏠 As battery tech improves, we're reducing degradation anxiety and paving the way for a greener future.

If you're looking for a sneak preview, here are some of the benefits of grid-interactive vehicles for OEMs that you can more learn about in the paper: 💰 Boost EV sales and unlock recurring revenue 🤑 Optimize charging times for the lowest electric rates ⚡ Charge with renewable energy when it's most abundant 🚗 Build a ramp to scalable V2X capabilities #GridInteractiveVehicles #EVrevolution #FutureofTransportation

Announced this morning: $72 million funding program for SuperTruck Charge, which will enable the design, development, and demonstration of innovative electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure in support of electrified medium- and heavy-duty vehicles (MHDVs). It also enhances grid resiliency and reliability. We are identifying potential solutions to address the current gaps in electrified MHDV charging infrastructure, enabling greater utilization of electrified fleets, and drastically reducing GHG emissions due to medium-/heavy-duty (MHD) trucks. The SuperTruck Charge funding program supplements the ongoing SuperTruck 3 program, with an emphasis on demonstrating technologies to accelerate the widespread buildout of the high-power charging infrastructure necessary for battery electric MHD trucks. https://lnkd.in/eQs4Ur5b

The addition of EVs and PHEVs to a grid that is experiencing rapid electrification will require a coordinated connected ecosystem. A new level of collaboration between the Utility and Automotive industries would benefit both sectors. However, there can be a win-win relationship only if the two industries collaborate, plan and invest symbiotically.  #EVs #PHEVS #automotive #connected #utility
