A new white paper by the ACEEE insists that more efficient EVs with smaller batteries would be cheaper and better for the power grid.

V2G Interconnection also could allow electricity from plugged-in EVs to be sent back to the grid, similar to when residential solar panels produce more energy than is required by a homeowner.

“Utilities will use EVs to manage demand, integrate renewable energy sources, and maintain the stability of the grid.” EV adoption also could spur needed infrastructure upgrades.

We talk with California's Grid Operations Manager Cody Smith about what to expect in the future.

EV charging will put additional strain on the power grid, but is it true to say that the grid won't be able to handle EVs? We asked the experts.

According to the International Energy Agency, an estimated 130 million EVs will be on the road by 2030. These EVs will, in total, contain 10 times the amount of energy storage needed by the grid.

For more evidence EVs aren't the problem, consider this: Over the past four years, the number of EVs registered in California has doubled. But peak demand on the grid has only increased 5 percent ...
