New trends in electric mobility – and a better use of renewables

The coming of age of high performance batteries is revolutionizing electric mobility at an accelerating pace. The current and coming generation of batteries offers both high energy density and the option of ultra-fast charging, thus removing the two main obstacles to a generalized replacement of IC engines in private transportation. Increasing investment across the industry is rapidly clearing away other minor, but multiple, problems, such as efficient and reliable cabling, protection, component packaging and so on. A revolution is on the way. On the supply side, the availability of a growing “battery on wheels” connected to the network, at least most of the time, can and will serendipitously solve the issue of network instability triggered by the increasing percentage of renewables generation in the grid. This means that a growing fraction of the EVs will run on zero energy or negawatt, i.e. renewable energy that would not have been otherwise harvested. A high challenge, but a very worthwhile work for the future of the world.
