We’re in the midst of a mobility revolution – one that’s reshaping not only how we move, but how we power our lives. Electric vehicles (EVs) of all shapes and sizes are accelerating the rate of change, transforming the way we move and the framework of our energy systems. Because what’s especially interesting about EVs is that in addition to being vehicles, they’re also mobile batteries. And the way they connect to our grids, homes, and the broader electricity network could become one of the most powerful tools we have in harnessing and optimizing solar and wind energy.
Jonathan Gifford discusses the mobility revolution in this podcast with Adele Zhao, Gerard Reid, and Thomas Raffeiner.
