A study led by Purdue reveals billions in hidden energy value from electric vehicles
A group of Purdue researchers led a study published in Cell Reports Physical Science that shows that electric vehicles (EVs) could become powerful allies for the electric grid, helping utilities meet rising energy demands while saving billions in infrastructure costs. The research team, which includes Junjie Qin of Purdue ECE, developed a framework that treats EVs as “virtual grid assets” — functioning like mobile batteries and power lines. |
