Why standardising bidirectional charging is key to enabling vehicle-to-grid (V2G) and driving Europe’s next energy revolution. More than a century ago a fierce technological and marketing battle raged between Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla to establish the standard for electrical power distribution. One favoured Direct Current (DC), the other Alternating ... [continued] The post The New War of the Currents appeared first on CleanTechnica .
