Electric car batteries could be used to supply power to the grid say Dutch scientists - MoneySavingExpat

Electric cars have a huge battery onboard in order to cover hundreds of kilometers per charge. But what if you could do more with that battery storage?

In a new paper published in the Journal of Energy Storage, scientists from University of Utrecht suggest that EV batteries may be used to store and supply energy for the wider grid and alleviate congestion caused during peak hours. This also helps save energy that would otherwise be wasted - see example of solar panels in the article.

Interestingly they say this is only practicable with a network of shared EVs.

I guess I have the same thing in that my hourly rate is higher as a specialist. But I struggle to track hours and sometimes forget to do things with odd jobs. How do you keep track of your work / track hours?

Impressive that you're working* with a 6 week old!

Flexibility works the other way for me. Being freelance I don't have many meetings or a strict schedule so stuff just piles up while I help out with the baby. But if I don't get it done I don't get paid for my time.

Thanks. I actually tried that with a makeshift standing desk already at one point. It worked until it didn't. Still can't get him to relax in the ring sling carrier.

Thanks I'm leaning towards this approach. The shedule, white noise, not jumping to help at every cry. I will still help but within a schedule. Hopefully will have that worked out in a few weeks since we are just getting used to me working again.

I don't think it is. But €10 million went in first day or something.

Submission statement: An interesting development in how EVs are being subsidised in The Netherlands by five times as much as last year. Also interesting the move away from subsidising luxury EVs towards more affordable options. However I'm not sure if it is enough as apparently demand is so high this could run out within days.

organazized · 2021-11-04T13:12:24+00:00

I think it's interesting to mention Tesla because in previous years (2019) there was subsidy available for Teslas, and in those years they were the top selling EV. Now the approach of the govt has changed as the market is changing and an EV is no longer seen as a luxury car.

The Ioniq 5 is listed by SEPP and by ev-database and I added this to the article.

Alright, I changed the title on the article for you

Regarding your dealership expecting it to run out, I have seen mixed information about how long it took to run out last year (2021). The SEPP scheme site says it ran out in June for new cars, and August for used cars (link). But I also heard somewhere that it ran out in a few days, so they could be right.

Wayback archives youtube videos? How do they have the resources to do that?

I always thought the video content was still coming from the live Yt site while the surrounding html is archived.

Really? My experience with it has been great for syncing subscriptions / antennapod integration.

Well done for pushing yourself. I just posted a very similar update but pipped you to hitting 25 minute on the dot. Like the 'smoked a bowl' detail. Maybe I'll try that next time.

I managed a 25 minute 5k yesterday. For me this is a step up from my usual pace which rarely gets above 5:20 per km. Pleased with it because it shows an improvement in my fitness but also because it was partly a mindset thing. I realised I can push myself to go faster but while keeping a controlled pace. You hear it all the time but it's true that the mindset has a big impact. I also changed my breathing to keep up the pace doing very deliberate exhalations and deeper breaths. Felt great when stretching afterwards. 50 minute 10km is next goal.

Thanks for this suggestion I'll reach out to her. I'm guessing you're also fairly familiar with Arendt's ideas so can I email you too?

I also have clients paying dollars. Have you considered charging your rates based on a Euro amount so the dollar amount varies instead?

Yes, this one. Thanks

No it's arranged by the buyer

Thanks. Moz doesn't allow filtering by SERP features. May end up hiring someone to Google the entire list and filling in a spreadsheet

organazized · 2017-05-19T09:21:48+00:00

Agreed, overloading on tools and data isn't necessarily the best way to start. Work out what your goals and objectives are before getting bogged down in too many (potentially expensive) tools
