A trio of projects using electric vehicle (EV) batteries and charging infrastructure to support the grid in California have been announced this week.

Automotive giant General Motors has launched a new division providing energy storage and energy management solutions.

Home energy storage system provider NeoVolta will deploy its solution at up to 1,000 EOS Linx EV charging stations across the US.

The German battery storage-integrated EV charging space had a busy July, with startup Numbat raising €10m-plus in capital and Volkswagen and JOLT Energy opening charging parks.

Energy storage technology company Tesvolt has concluded a funding round, raising around €40 million (US$45.25 million) in equity capital.

Funding secured from its main shareholder group will help vertically-integrated energy storage company Leclanché push forward activities in its stationary storage business, CEO Anil Srivastava has said.

Jan Andersson, market development manager at Wärtsilä, explores the need for large-scale energy storage solutions to aid the proliferation of electric vehicles and their necessary charging infrastructure.
