The next generation of EV batteries will feed energy to your home — and the grid

Home solar panels had already been chipping away at the United States’ centralized power system, forcing utilities to make electricity transfer a two-way street. More recently, home batteries have allowed households with solar arrays to become energy traders, recharging when electricity prices are low, replacing grid power when prices are high, and then selling electricity for a profit during peak hours.
But batteries are expensive. Using EVs makes this kind of home setup cheaper and a real possibility for more Americans.
So there may be a time, perhaps soon, when your car not only gets you from point A to point B, but also serves as the hub of your personal power plant.
 
Yup, just another thing that makes EVs superior over gas cars.

10 electric cars with the longest range
Feb 7, 2023 | 1:30 AM
Electric cars are becoming increasingly common, but there’s still one issue that new EV buyers run into — range anxiety. Because charging isn’t as easy or as quick as filling up a tank of gas, range can make or break an EV — it dictates how far you’ll be able to drive before you run out of juice.
Electric cars will continue to gain longer and longer ranges over time, but there are already some impressively long-range cars available. Here’s a look at the electric cars with the longest range.

Police Chief Explains How Tesla Patrol Cars Saved Their Department Tons of Money
Police budgets have been a political hot topic for a number of years. No matter what side of the fence you fall on, you'll likely agree that the police should take steps to save the public money where they can. One department in Wisconsin believes it can save its taxpayers around $80,000 a year by going electric. The department had previously fielded Ford Explorers, which aren't the most economical choice of vehicle. Most other departments aren't too eco-friendly either, with vehicles like the Dodge Charger being very popular in the policing world. Chargers are popular with police departments for a few reasons. The respectable top speed and bulked-up suspension make it handy in a chase, but on the flip side, the 5.7 liter Hemi engine doesn't make it the most economical or eco-friendly vehicle on the road (via i-5 Cars). The Somerset police department's chief, Joel Trepczyk, mentioned that previous efforts to go green have included reducing vehicle numbers from three to five and buying a Ford Fusion hybrid back in 2019.
In contrast, the Tesla Model Y that Somerset police are hoping to switch to is very eco-friendly -- provided it stays on the road long enough. While parts for the high-tech vehicle tend to be more expensive than they are for many gas cars, Teslas also tend to be more reliable -- which drives repair costs down. The vehicles are also covered by a pretty solid warranty, though things like Police Departments are likely to view warranties in a different way to standard consumers as they rack up the miles and tend to engage in what could be deemed high-risk activities. Still, Somerset PD may save a bundle over the years -- assuming the chief's math is correct.

Lot's of news now as to how much EV batteries driven or not, deteroriate range in cold weather. Their idea of cold is 22° and the result was a 41% loss of range. News kiddies, cold is -22°

China's EV maker Nio eyes 1,000 battery-swap stations this year

Chinese startup is betting on battery swapping as a solution to power its electric vehicles.
Chinese electric vehicle (EV) startup Nio plans to build 1,000 battery-swapping stations in China in 2023 to bring the total number of such facilities to 2,300 by year-end, its Founder and Chairman William Li has said.
Nio will build 400 battery-swapping stations along highways and 600 in urban areas with a focus on the country’s third- and fourth-tier cities and counties, Li said in a post on Nio’s social media platform on Tuesday.
The move marks an expansion of its plan in December of adding 400 such stations this year. Li found more of them are needed to improve user experience after his trips to northeastern China and lower-tier cities in Zhejiang, he added.
Battery swapping allows drivers to replace depleted packs quickly with fully charged ones, rather than plugging the vehicle into a charging point. Swapping could help mitigate the growing strains placed on power grids as millions of drivers juice up, yet specialists caution it can take off in a big way only if batteries become standardised industry-wide.
Nio is among the few EV makers that are betting on battery swapping as one of the major power solutions for electric cars.

So what happens when you can't charge them off of the primarily fossil fuel electrical grid?

California is the first state to make electric cars mandatory. Now it’s telling owners not to charge them
 
As batteries continue to improve and improve, and the reliance on the worst to mine Rare earth Elements decreases, it is easy to see how the future of price gauging via these 'peak time' system over loads and crashes will be a thing of the past. Also why Republicans and right derps will fight against it, to protect corporate profits at the cost of citizens.

A Smart Grid, along with every new home being mandated to have both Solar panels and a battery wall, with a minimum 8 hours back up time, would make 99% of peak time price gauging and system crashes a thing of the past. Look at Texas crashes. Only a handful of areas going beyond peak usage breaks the system. With a Smart grid and battery back up, you rotate those homes off the grid for X hours while they use battery back up, and then you bring them back on strategically once you have balanced the load demands.

Of course that is the type of fix (like Railroad brakes) that industry hates paying for as they depress profits and as such the GOP politicians will block it.

Lithium ion batteries are used everywhere. Even gasoline cars use them for their onboard computers. Your phone uses them, too.

A phone weighs 2000 pounds?

Do u know how many phone batteries can be made with one EV battery

Are u really this fucking stupid?
