The future of EVs: The Grid-Interactive Vehicle⚡️ Check out WeaveGrid's new white paper written by my colleagues, Yakov Berenshteyn and Chris Morgan. In the comments, you can find a link to download the report which highlights five steps OEMs can take to design and deploy Grid-Interactive Vehicles. 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

🔋 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.

Revolutionizing the Road: BEVs take the lead! ⚡ This comparison sheds light on the battle between BEVs, FCEVs, and e-fuels. Who wins when it comes to energy consumption, efficiency, and eco-friendliness? Spoiler: BEVs are ahead, but there's more to the story. Uncover the full comparison and what it means for the future of #mobility.    🔗 https://lnkd.in/eZbjtb4Y   #DRIVENbySVOLT #SVOLT #MissionZero 

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

🚗 Improving Efficiency with Supercapacitors in Automotive Design The automotive industry is finding practical ways to make vehicles more efficient. Mazda’s i-ELOOP system is a strong example, combining start-stop technology with supercapacitors to capture and reuse energy. 🔋 Key Points Start-Stop Systems: Save fuel by shutting off the engine when idle and restarting it smoothly. Supercapacitors: Handle rapid energy transfer during braking and power vehicle electronics efficiently. Mazda i-ELOOP: Stores energy from braking in capacitors, powering electronics and cutting engine load, improving fuel economy by up to 10%. 💡 What’s Next? Advances in supercapacitor technology could make energy storage faster and more reliable for urban transport. At Volfpack Energy, we’re working to bring these technologies to more industries. Let’s talk about what’s possible. #AutomotiveTech #EnergyStorage #Supercapacitors

Tau's breakthrough power conversion technology is applicable to EVs, Data Centers, Solar/PV, Wind Power, the Grid, Consumer Product Chargers,...and the list goes on. As energy consumption keeps going up at an even accelerating pace, the need for cost reduction and efficiency improvements get ever more pressing. #innovation #electrification

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."

Exciting developments are underway in the electrification space as Kitu Systems joins Southern California Edison (SCE), and other industry leaders such as Stellantis, Eaton, and more, to pioneer the standardization of Alternating Current Vehicle-to-Grid (AC V2G) technology! This groundbreaking work not only sets the stage for a seamless integration of EVs into the grid but also simplifies the experience for future EV drivers. 🔌🚗 By leveraging bidirectional capabilities, AC V2G technology allows EVs to feed power back into the grid using their onboard inverters, eliminating the need for additional equipment. This collaborative effort not only drives innovation but also fosters a more cost-effective and sustainable approach to electrification.

Did you know that the first documented electric vehicle fleet dates back to 1897 and that we have had "modern" day consumer market EV's on our roads since the 1990's? So what's new about vehicle decarbonization in 2024? It's a week to go until Amy and I host a one hour webinar where we plan to share our personal and practical thoughts and insights on the transition to a low carbon road vehicle ecosystem in the US, UK and Europe – with a focus on what we are learning through the work we are doing to help our clients transition and operationalize low carbon fleets.
