We curate most relevant posts about Electrification & Battery Technology on LinkedIn and regularly share key takeaways.

This edition explores the multifaceted landscape of Electric Vehicle (EV) charging and battery technology. A significant theme is the rapid advancement and crucial role of bidirectional charging (V2G/V2H), transforming EVs into active grid assets that can store and return energy, offering financial benefits and enhancing grid stability. This innovation is supported by new regulatory frameworks and industry partnerships, as seen with BMW and E.ON’s V2G tariff in Germany and ChargePoint's collaboration with Eaton on grid-resilient solutions. The discussions also highlight the challenges of scaling EV infrastructure, including the need for early skill development to address a talent gap, strategic fraud prevention, and the development of seamless, user-centric charging experiences. Finally, the sources touch upon the critical importance of EV batteries as cost drivers and technological enablers, alongside efforts in battery recycling and second-life applications to promote sustainability.
