Car :: Can Your EV Power the Grid? A Complete Guide to Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) Tec

Hello! Today I'd like to talk about one of the most exciting new technologies in EV charging: Vehicle-to-Grid, or V2G. As someone who develops charging systems for electrified equipment - EVs, electric excavators, electric wheel loaders - V2G is one of the technologies I've been watching most closely lately. It represents a shift from simply filling a battery to actively exchanging energy and in..

Car :: Slow vs Fast EV Charging - What's Actually the Difference? A Beginner's G

Hello there. Today I'm writing about the basics of EV charging. If you've just started driving an electric vehicle, the first question that usually comes up is "how does charging actually work?" Unlike filling up a gas tank in a few minutes, EV charging comes with unfamiliar terms like slow charging and fast charging right from the start. I work on developing charging systems for electrified equ..

Hello, today's post is about the different types of EV charging connectors. Have you ever wondered why EV charging plugs look so different depending on the car or the country? If you're new to EVs, one of the first surprises is that even within the same country, the plug for a home Level 2 charger looks completely different from the plug on a DC fast charger. Rent an EV abroad and you'll likely ..

Hello! Today's post looks at one specific slice of EV technology: how charging power itself has evolved over the past decade or so. "A decade ago, a full EV charge took over 8 hours. Today, some cars can hit 80% in 20 minutes. How did we get here?" As someone who works on EV charging systems for a living, I'd argue the story of electric vehicles is, in large part, the story of charging power cli..

Hello everyone. Today's post is about wireless EV charging technology. What if your car finished charging just by being parked? No plugging, no unplugging, no cable at all — just pull into a spot and the battery starts filling up on its own. As someone who develops charging systems for electrified equipment, I've been keeping a close eye on how far wireless charging has actually come. So today I..

Hello! Today's post is about the basics of EV charging. "AC charging, DC charging — do you actually know what sets them apart?" Electrification isn't limited to passenger EVs anymore. Industrial electrified equipment like electric excavators and electric wheel loaders is expanding fast too. The underlying charging principles are largely the same across these machines, so understanding today's to..

Hello everyone. Today's post is about one of the most talked-about future EV technologies: V2G, or Vehicle-to-Grid. Could the electric car sitting in your driveway actually sell power back to the grid someday? V2G stands for Vehicle-to-Grid, a technology that lets energy stored in an EV battery flow back out into the power grid. Until now, EVs have mostly been one-way consumers of electricity. W..
