Electric vehicles are earning money for their owners by sending power back to the grid when demand spikes. This vehicle-to-grid technology turns parked cars into mobile power banks that help stabilize electricity systems.
A breakthrough from Utah State University could make electric vehicle charging cheaper and easier on the power grid. The research optimizes when EVs charge based on real-time pricing and grid capacity.
Western Canada's electricity grid is getting a major boost with $26 million in federal funding for 17 clean energy projects, including Indigenous-led solar initiatives. The University of Calgary received $4.2 million to lead research connecting provincial power grids for more reliable, affordable energy sharing.
General Motors is developing massive sodium-ion batteries that can power 300 homes for a full day, marking a major shift from cars to grid storage. The automaker is also making charging easier for 250,000 existing EVs with new vehicle-to-grid technology.
Australia's New South Wales is moving forward with nine massive battery projects that will keep the power grid stable as the state transitions to renewable energy. The innovative approach lets the grid operator tap into privately owned batteries instead of building expensive new infrastructure.
Indonesia is redesigning how it funds its electricity grid to unlock billions in clean energy investment. A new financing model could cut costs and speed up the country's transition to renewable power.
Texas just became the second state to hit pause on rushing data centers onto its energy grid. The new audit requirement shows leaders are listening to communities worried about power stability.
Massachusetts is testing a program that lets electric car owners earn money by sending stored energy from their parked vehicles back to the power grid. Over 150,000 EVs in the state could soon help prevent blackouts while putting cash in drivers' pockets.
