We are supporting the transition to electric vehicles by helping customers to overcome technological obstacles, make their products safe and to meet regulatory approval. By helping to usher in a new era of e-mobility we are also helping to tackle the climate crisis.
One potential way to deal with the problem of a fluctuating renewable electricity supply is to decentralize energy storage. Storing energy in cars has the advantage that their peak usage times are limited to rush hours. Surges in power requirements in factories could, for example, be managed from the energy in car batteries parked outside. The cars could then be recharged from local solar energy generated on the factory roof, during non-peak times. With the marginal cost of electricity approaching zero, electricity could be freely exchanged for the mutual benefit of everyone.
