Watt Barriers: balancing the grid Part 3 | Plug Life Television Episode 21

In Parts 1 and 2, we found that the National Grid easily produces enough energy over a 24 hour period to meet the energy requirements of every single car in the UK if they were all switched to electric propulsion, and that's regardless of the time of year. However, how can we stagger the charging of all of the nation's cars so that they don't all try to charge at the same time and trip the grid? Part 3 looks at the technological solutions and juicy financial incentives that are already available to keep the grid balanced and make owning an EV as cheap - and even profitable - as possible. ---------- Music by 27B https://archive27b.bandcamp.com/album/collected-tracks-2011-2013
