One of the keys to a cleaner transportation future
The electric vehicle (EV) is emerging as a key solution to one of our energy future's biggest challenges: the impact of transportation on our environment. The smart grid will be one of the keys to a cleaner transportation future, and whether or not tomorrow's smart grid becomes a reality could hinge upon the widespread adoption of electric vehicles by consumers and construction of charging stations these plug-in cars will require.
Mainstream consumer adoption of the electric vehicle is just over the horizon. This new mode of mobility and the infrastructure that will sprout around it will require reliable, safe
and convenient energy management solutions that meet users' charging and availability needs while helping facility managers and utility operators optimize resources.
Energy management solutions are key to ensuring that the electric vehicle and the charging infrastructure are safe, convenient,economical and energy efficient for drivers and facility managers while ensuring that utility operators are able to manage the impacts of electric vehicle charging on the grid.
The electric vehicle is at a turning point. Investment in electric vehicles has gone mainstream. Warren buffet famously bought a 10 percent stake in Chinese EV company BYD and Google's Recharge IT program has been investing massively in green car technologies.
On the demand side, early hybrid electric vehicles like the Toyota Prius have received a warm reception from consumers, paying the way for future consumer acceptance of plug-in electric vehicles.
Handy Hints
Electric vehicles are fast- becoming mainstream
Motor shows now usually exhibit hybrid prototypes
Energy management solutions must meet user needs.
