#TSEP 224 Enabling Flexibility: Balancing the Grid with Storage & E-Mobility

We’re in the midst of a mobility revolution – one that’s
reshaping not only how we move, but how we power our lives.


Electric vehicles (EVs) of all shapes and sizes are accelerating
the rate of change, transforming the way we move and the
framework of our energy systems. Because what’s especially
interesting about EVs is that in addition to being vehicles,
they’re also mobile batteries. And the way they connect to our
grids, homes, and the broader electricity network could become
one of the most powerful tools we have in harnessing and
optimizing solar and wind energy.


Jonathan Gifford discusses the mobility revolution in this
podcast with Adele Zhao, Gerard Reid, and Thomas Raffeiner.
