  • Repurposed EV Batteries Provide Grid Services at 40% of Cost of Stationary Storage

    Repurposed EV Batteries Provide Grid Services at 40% of Cost of Stationary Storage
    2026/11/12

    B2U Storage Solutions, which provides repurposed electric-vehicle (EV) batteries, now has more than 50 MWh of storage operating in Texas and plans to add another 50+ MW in ERCOT over the next six months.

    The company's Bexar Martinez battery storage project, a 28-MWh facility near San Antonia connected to CPS Energy's service territory, will provide grid services to ERCOT.

    In early November, the company's CEO, Freeman Hall, was named to the 2026 TIME100 Climate list, which recognizes the most influential and innovative business leaders in climate this year.

    In this interview, Hall said repurposed EV batteries are 40% less expensive than conventional stationary storage systems.

    2026/10/19

    With Voltpost, an electric vehicle (EV) driver can park in front of a utility pole or lamppost and, using a phone app, lower a charger from it.

    The company says the Voltpost system can cut charging infrastructure costs for communities by up to 70% because it requires no construction or trenching.

    Voltpost won the 2026 Electric Innovation and Discovery Award from the Electric Innovation Initiative.

    About the guest:

    Jeff Prosserman is CEO and co-founder at Voltpost, which aims to democratize charging access, decarbonize mobility and lower the footprint of charging infrastructure.

  • EV Ownership Costs at Parity with Gas Vehicle Costs by 2031?

    EV Ownership Costs at Parity with Gas Vehicle Costs by 2031?
    2026/10/04

    A report from the research and consultancy group Wood Mackenzie found that, as the Middle East conflict creates volatility in global oil markets, three factors could drive EV sales higher.

    In fact, total EV ownership costs could reach parity with total gasoline vehicle ownership costs by 2031, the report said.

    But the U.S. is falling behind in EV deployment, the report said. What bold steps are needed to ensure the U.S. improves its position in the global EV market?

    My guest is David Brown, director, Energy Transition Practice at Wood Mackenzie.
