White papers

EVs are here, in part driven by environmental concerns, and in part driven by economic opportunities and keen consumer interest. EVs—in concert with the integration of renewables—are poised to re-make the power grid, offering enticing revenue streams and grid services. Solutions are now being developed to build in the flexibility as well as efficiency and cleanliness required to meet the new demand that is expected to arise from EV use.
