Demand Shifting in Hawaiʻi: The Other Half of the Energy Transition
The series examining Oʻahu’s energy transition has followed a consistent structure. It began by defining the island’s fully electrified energy system and stripping away energy uses that do not serve the civilian economy. Aviation fuel for flights leaving Hawaiʻi, maritime bunkering for ships crossing the Pacific, and military energy consumption … [continued]

Unlocking Vehicle-to-Grid at Scale
Why EU type approval is the missing lever to make every EV a grid asset. In 2024, T&E highlighted the potential of Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G), and bi-directional charging of Electric Vehicles (EVs). EVs are ‘Batteries on Wheels’, delivering flexibility benefits for the electricity grid, supporting the integration of more renewables, and delivering … [continued]

The New War of the Currents
Why standardising bidirectional charging is key to enabling vehicle-to-grid (V2G) and driving Europe’s next energy revolution. More than a century ago a fierce technological and marketing battle raged between Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla to establish the standard for electrical power distribution. One favoured Direct Current (DC), the other Alternating … [continued]

There Will Be More EVs (and NEVs) at the Chicago Auto Show 2026
The Chicago Auto Show will return to McCormick Place from February 7 to 16, 2026, with a lineup that underscores the show’s evolving role in the US auto market: less about global debuts and more about consumer-ready vehicles, electrification pathways, and hands-on engagement. The small ratio of pure EVs to … [continued]

Active Managed EV Charging Can Double EV Hosting Capacity
Electric vehicles are ‘batteries on wheels’ and have capabilities beyond transportation. Because of the recent frigid weather and snow, someone mentioned the fact that a Ford Lightning can be used as backup power during an outage. Of course, it isn’t only Lightnings that can provide such backup power. Potentially, any … [continued]
