Electric cars as energy storage: An exciting project in the Thayaland region
Published
The climate and energy model region of Thayaland in Lower Austria is hosting a special event on November 24th. The focus will be on how electric cars can be used in the future not just for transportation, but also as mobile energy storage units.
The concept behind this technology is simple: an electric car sits unused at a charging station for most of the day. During this time, the vehicle's battery could absorb excess energy from the power grid or, when needed, feed it back into the house or the public grid.
At a so-called "public viewing" event in Pfaffenschlag, interested citizens can find out more directly on-site. Experts will explain how this technology works and what benefits it can offer for the energy transition in Austria.
This project is an important step for the region to advance the expansion of renewable energies. If electric cars serve as storage, the power grid can be kept more stable, even when the sun is not shining or the wind is not blowing.
The event offers a great opportunity to experience the future of mobility up close. Anyone who would like to learn more about the connection between electromobility and sustainable energy supply is warmly invited to attend in Pfaffenschlag on November 24th.
