Electrifying a fleet of vehicles is the chicken-and-egg problem for the 21st century. Where do you spend money first, on the vehicles or the charging infrastructure? Believe it or not, that question isn’t always thought through. Joshua Aviv, founder and CEO of SparkCharge, has had fleets approach him and say, “Hey, the cars are here. They’re sitting on the lot. We’ve got no way to service them, no way to charge them. Can you guys help us out?” he told TechCrunch. Some companies are a tad more

Google is buying another 600 megawatts of solar power to supply electricity to its data centers. The new deal covers solar and storage projects being developed in South Carolina by EnergyRe. The company says it has 16 gigawatts under development; most projects listed on its site have deployed around 60 MW to 75 MW of solar, though some are larger. Google has been investing heavily in renewables recently. Last year, it pledged to invest $20 billion with Intersect Power and TPG Rise Climate to b

We know from international reporting and economic analysis that China has become a world leader in solar power. The country has pivoted hard to renewable energy in recent years and now has a near-monopoly on global solar energy and panel production. A video circulating recently on social media highlights the sheer scale of the operation, showing an entire mountain range in the Guizhou province of China blanketed in solar panels. The drone footage reveals a virtual sea of solar panels and access

Google and nuclear site developer Elementl Power announced this week that they will work together on three sites for advanced nuclear reactors. The tech company has been rushing to lock up energy sources as its AI ambitions drive growing power demands at its data centers. This year alone, Google plans to spend $75 billion building data center capacity. With the new deal, Google is promising to add at least 600 megawatts of generating capacity at each of the three sites. Elementl said the react

In Brief Google will add 10 megawatts of geothermal power in Taiwan to its renewable portfolio, the company announced Tuesday, marking the search giant’s first geothermal investment in Asia. Swedish company Baseload Capital is developing the project through a local subsidiary, which has been mapping the island for geothermal resources since 2019. It’s not the first geothermal deal for Google. In November, geothermal startup Fervo connected a 3.5-megawatt power plant to the grid as part of an

Buying a giant battery for the next blackout or off-grid adventure can be daunting, especially when hundreds or even thousands of dollars are on the line. Get it wrong and you’ve either spent too much money for something you’ll never use or discover that you didn’t buy enough capacity to keep your most important devices running. To get it right, you need to become intimate with the watt-hour (Wh). The watt-hour is a measure of capacity, or how much electrical energy a battery stores. If you kno

Other MagSafe Power Banks to Consider Photograph: Simon Hill We like a few other MagSafe power banks that didn’t make it into our top picks.

The drive to decarbonize our economies through electrification and clean energy continues to generate momentum around battery technologies, as storage has a key role to play in enabling the green transition. While renewables are clean sources of energy compared to burning fossil fuels, their power output isn’t always consistent.
