Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily for Saturday 25th December. It’s Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story so you don’t have to.
Thank you to MYEV.com for helping make this show, they’ve built the first marketplace specifically for Electric Vehicles. It’s a totally free marketplace that simplifies the buying and selling process, and help you learn about EVs along the way too.
6 Things On My Christmas List
EV WORKING VEHICLES
– One Charging Connector For Commerical
– Delivery vans / Anything with a route
– Better for the drivers, constant stopping with regen
– Cheaper to operate
– Clean air in urban environments
VEHICLES SUPPORTING GRID
CCS bi-directional at a reasonable cost
Energy tariffs which work with your car
“On a sprawling sunroof over a parking lot next to an office building in the Dutch city of Utrecht, there are now more than 2,000 solar panels. Underneath, there are 250 “bidirectional” chargers for electric cars, so that in the future, cars parked in the lot can help store that solar power for the grid.”
“The city aims to be the first in the world to be fully bidirectional, using electric car batteries to help solve one of the challenges of renewable energy: Solar and wind power aren’t always available, and building large batteries for storage is still expensive. As more people shift to EVs, the cars can double as grid infrastructure.”
“The University of Utrecht calculated that with 10,000 electric cars using bidirectional charging, it will be possible to balance the city’s entire electricity needs. That’s less than 10% of the city’s current fleet of cars; EVs are quickly growing, and the Netherlands plans to ban sales of new gas and diesel cars beginning in 2030.”
