“E-cars suitable as energy storage”
Hannoversche Allgemeine Zeitung
A trial by utility Stadtwerke Hannover and university researchers has shown that electric cars are suitable to serve as flexible power storage to balance the grid, reports Bernd Haase in Hannoversche Allgemeine Zeitung. During the trial with 40 e-cars, it proved essential that car owners agreed to flexible charging times, because the majority initially wanted to charge their cars at peak load time between 6 and 8 o’clock in the evening, according to the report.
