We examine the potential economic implications of using vehicle batteries to store grid electricity generated at off-peak hours for off-vehicle use during peak hours. Hourly electricity prices in three U.S. cities were used to arrive at daily profit values, while the economic losses associated with battery degradation were calculated based on data collected from A123 Systems LiFePO4/Graphite cells tested under combined driving and off-vehicle electricity utilisation.

However, the tools which currently exist to analyse the potential impacts are either too complex or too aggregated to provide this type of information.

Climate Policy in the US is beggining to gain momentum. Any effective climate policy will need to achieve large reductions in both the amount of energy used and the carbon intensity of energy in each of the following sectors: transportation, electricity production and heat for homes, businesses and industries!
The Department of Engineering and Public Policy of the Carnegie Mellon University has a long track record on Sustainability issues and has issued a Briefing Note aimed at improving US Climate Policy... or glare some light over it!
