Elon T•••• are derping “industrialize” and plotting deindustrialization. US econ’s already out of commodity manufacturing into high-value services and IP, and they’re plotting to bring back company towns while canceling chips and #EV funding.

Back from two days in Aachen discussing and learning all things and

- some key insights in my post over at Linkedin

www.linkedin.com#vehicle2grid | Jaap BurgerYesterday I spoke at the two-day #Vehicle2Grid conference in Aachen about the spread of smart tariffs and services across Europe. These tariffs and services enable consumers to charge their EVs smartly, contributing to power system reliability, sustainability, and lower costs for all energy system users. In the same session, Niklas Hemberger of The Mobility House, Michael P. Evans of Octopus Energy and Daniel Mata of Tibber showed how they unlock the value of different markets for their users today, and at scale. There are now 480 of these possibilities throughout Europe, mainly at home, but public smart charging is also starting to grow. At the same time, there are still very large differences in availability and market access (such as for independent aggregators) between countries - even in the EU. So close to where three countries meet, in a city served by a regional train that connects three countries, it is even more obvious that there is every reason to be creating a single European market for smart energy; after all, borders are just lines that you cannot see. Thanks to Dr. Christopher Hecht and Dr. Jan Figgener, and Bernd Hömberg of Haus der Technik e.V for the excellent organisation! Two days filled with expertise and insights from projects from all over Europe with smart and bidirectional charging. Some insights from the various contributions and discussions: 💤 Efficiency / standby losses / lifetime of components other than the battery with smart and bidirectional charging (we don't have to worry about the battery itself: smart charging improves battery life) ⚖️ V2G is preferable to V2H in terms of efficiency (and the two are usually aligned anyway with the right price signals) 📑 Grid codes - the proposed European RfG and DCC - are a market-wide challenge for AC charging, but surmountable 🍽️ No one size fits all: A tariff flavour for everyone: fixed tariffs with a smart charging credit for some, a dynamic tariff for others 🦤 The German smart meter (and the whole communication ecosystem around it) remains a curiosity in Europe. It is interesting that the German government may be preparing a V2G metering solution that is more in line with the rest of Europe. 🏖️ The EU's announced regulatory sandboxes should be used to test tariff and tax changes, not to demonstrate the technical feasibility of V2G, as this has already been proven 🧠 TSO/DSO coordination and, more broadly, the combination of the multitude of mechanisms and markets are given the full attention they deserve. Data exchange is key, complex and necessary. And that starts with working with and for users. (session photos (c) HDT/together concept)
