It's 2020. You drive your plug-in hybrid electric car home at 6 p.m., plug it in, let it charge via the solar panels on your roof or the wind power coming from the grid, and you leave it charging ...

There will be more than enough batteries in electric vehicles by 2050 to support a grid that runs on solar and wind—if the two are connected by smart chargers, according to experts at the ...

Major automobile manufacturers Honda and GM are jointly working on a blockchain project for electric vehicles with smart grids.

Smart cities are evolving with uninterruptible supply and demand management. With the rise of smart cities’ technology, Electric Vehicles (EVs) are becoming their fundamental building block: by ...

Electric Cars Could Destroy the Electric Grid—or Fix It Forever A major uptick in driving on batteries will stress today's aging grid, but also offer an opportunity to make it way better.

But grid operators, utilities and clean energy advocates say it doesn’t make sense to blame electric vehicles for the soaring electricity demand during the recent heat wave.

Electric vehicles are coming, and automakers aren’t the only ones adapting. Cleveland-Cliffs will sell new types of steel, and more of it. Goodyear has already come out with specific EV tires ...

Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology allows electric vehicles to charge and discharge electricity to and from the grid. V2G can improve the power system’s resiliency and reliability and make ...

The studies will be simulation-based and will not impact security of supply on the island. Within the project, researchers from IBM Denmark and from IBM's Zurich Research Laboratory will develop smart ...

Electric cars won't overwhelm the US grid anytime soon, energy and transportation experts say. EVs don't consume a lot of energy now, and it will be decades before electric cars take over fully.

Concerns about the strain electric cars can put on the electricity grid are not unfounded, but there are some relatively simple fixes available.

A potentially lucrative new market is emerging around the exchange of energy between plug-in vehicles and the electrical grid, particularly as more low-carbon power generation sources come online.
