Power Your Home and Save Money with Electric Cars!

Nottingham and Warwick University are conducting new research into electric car batteries. The good news is that batteries may have some pretty impressive additional uses! We all rely on the power of our EV batteries to keep our cars charged up while out on our road trips and running daily errands. The technology that powers our cars could also power various other things in our lives! Let’s dive into how we can power our homes and save money with electric cars!

Electric Batteries for Homes and Businesses

This new project looks at how electric car batteries could be used to “store electricity and discharge it back to the grid when it’s most needed.” This is known as vehicle-to-grid (V2G) charging. Potential uses for this type of technology, if successful, could include charging homes and businesses!

Electric vehicles have changed the automotive industry for the better; they have allowed the industry to find alternative, more sustainable methods of powering the cars on our roads. It’s great to see that this technology is powering bigger and better things!

The Problem with Current Renewable Energy

The most common type of renewable energy that is used to power houses and businesses now is solar energy. However, these power sources generate power when electricity demand is low. Demand for electricity peaks between 18.00 PM – 20.00 PM, which is when solar panels can’t generate as much power, as it’s typically dark by that time. This is creating an even more pressing need for alternative methods in different applications, such as EV batteries.

Save Money with Electric Cars

Under the new project, researchers are also looking at how “electric vehicles could be a source of income when they’re parked up.”. Vehicle-to-grid charging opens up a new opportunity to electric vehicle owners, helping them get a quick return on their investment. As we all know, price is one of the things that puts a lot of people off driving electric vehicles. However, this new technology could make owning an electric vehicle much more attractive to a wider range of people!
