2 million new electric cars were sold during 2018
Electric vehicles provide an important end-use for renewable energy by allowing for the replacement of fossil fuels in certain transport applications. As the market share of EVs grows, they also support the integration of VRE by presenting options for demand-side response, for example through vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology. The global stock of passenger EVs (electric cars) … Continue reading 2 million new electric cars were sold during 2018
