IRENA Analysis Explores the Potential and Impact of Smart Charging Electric Vehicles on the Energy Transition
May 16, 2019 -- Today the average car runs on fossil fuels, but growing pressure for climate action, falling battery costs, and concerns about air pollution in cities, has given life to the once 'over-priced' and neglected electric vehicle.
With many new electric vehicles (EV) now out-performing their fossil-powered counterparts' capabilities on the road, energy planners are looking to bring innovation to the garage 95% of a car's time is spent parked. The result is that with careful planning and the right infrastructure in place, parked and plugged-in EVs could be the battery banks of the future, stabilising electric grids powered by wind and solar energy.
