The rise in EV adoption should be viewed as much as opportunity as challenge. Of course there are obstacles getting more electric power into dense urban centers, but for the rest of urban and ex-urban sprawl where the cars mostly operate, there is ample rooftop space and land for new, renewable generation. Solar storage controls to provide passive charging while vehicles sit in parking spaces is a great solution and source of new revenues. Given that distribution generation permitting easily can take a year or more these charts from RMI suggest it's neither too soon to start nor particularly risky that the load will come.

We delve into power usage, charging options, and compatibility with home solar systems, providing insights for a more sustainable future. Discover how to maximise efficiency and minimise costs in your transition to electrification. 👉 Read our in-depth analysis https://bit.ly/3VX8Dyr #ElectricVehicles #SolarEnergy #Sustainability #CleanEnergy #GreenTech

A White Paper’s focus on capacitating and greening the Eskom grid might unnecessarily delay the transition to electric vehicles (EVs). Instead, the focus should be on immediately developing off-grid EV charging stations based on renewable sources, Zero Carbon Charge co-director and founder Joubert Roux said yesterday.

"EV and RES are the perfect match" 🚘💕☀️ As Naomi Chevillard, Head of Regulatory affairs at SolarPower Europe, summed it all up at recent policy conference. The rapid uptake of #EVs has the potential to become both a flexible asset for #gridmanagement and an opportunity for #prosumer business models. EVs will provide a boost to increasing the cost-effective penetration of renewable energy within the electricity system. The combination of EVs, their batteries and smart-charging functionalities as sources of ancillary services for the distribution grid will bring clear benefits, in terms of RES integration, for both individual and collective projects. To what Chevillard added: "𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘳𝘦𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘦 𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘨𝘺 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘧𝘶𝘦𝘭 𝘤𝘰𝘴𝘵𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘰𝘸𝘯𝘦𝘳 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘱 𝘨𝘳𝘪𝘥 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯. 𝘚𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘱𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘬𝘦𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘴𝘦 𝘙𝘌𝘚 𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘤 𝘮𝘰𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘴𝘰𝘭𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦." Indeed, #electromobility and #renewableenergy offer a win-win partnership. The benefits of smart and bidirectional charging in regions with high solar or wind capacities are clear: when sun sets and wind falls, EVs can optimise consumption and grid constraint and avoid polluting at peak times.

Installed 'behind the meter', it allows customers to have control over EV charging tariffs. The solution incorporates onsite solar generation and smart energy management to reduce carbon emissions and lower installation and energy costs for EVs. Workplace and destination charging represents the cleanest, most convenient and most cost-effective alternative to home charging for a fairer, faster, cleaner energy transition. #solarcarparks #smartenergycontrol #evcharginginfrastructure #cleanenergy #decarbonisation #solarpower #microgrids #batterystorage #workplacecharging #destinationcharging

A growing number of electric vehicles (EVs) coming to the market can tap the energy stored in their batteries to keep the lights on during a blackout and lower utility bills when rates spike. This “bidirectional charging” capability also promises to transform EVs into a significant source of energy for utilities struggling to balance renewable energy production and climate-caused power disruptions. As EV sales grow, utilities can aggregate batteries into virtual power plants to avoid firing up fossil fuel power stations when demand spikes. In our book 'Practical Sustainability', we look at how consumers have become 'prosumers', consuming when needed and contributing electricity back to the grid using locally produced renewable energy and devices such as EVs.
