South Asia's First-ever Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) Demonstration, Led by ISGF in Collaboration with its Technology and Utility Partners
NEW DELHI , May 19, 2026 -- South Asia s first ever groundbreaking Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) Technology Demonstration in India implemented by India Smart Grid Forum (ISGF) marks a major advancement in smart Electric Vehicle (EV) charging and grid stability, paving the way for a future of bidirectional energy flows between EVs and the power grid. ISGF, with its utility partners and technical support from the University of Delaware (UDEL), USA, executed this first-of-its-kind Alternating Current (AC) V2G pilot demonstration in South Asia. The demonstration project was implemented at BSES Rajdhani Power Limited, BSES Yamuna Power Limited, TATA Power Delhi Distribution Limited, as well as at the Agency for New and Renewable Energy Research and Technology (ANERT), Kerala. This pilot demonstration has tested a variety of V2G use cases and found it highly relevant for distributed renewable energy integration and grid stability.
Hormuz crisis shows clean energy is key to reducing the economic cost of fossil fuel dependence
The Energy Transitions Commission warns crisis-driven responses that reinforce fossil fuel dependence risk locking economies into higher costs and long-term vulnerability. Accelerating clean energy deployment can displace the equivalent of all Hormuz flows over the next few years and is the most durable route to economic resilience and energy security. KEY FINDINGS Fossil fuel systems transmit shocks; clean energy systems absorb them. Fossil systems depend on continuous commodity flows through concentrated chokepoints and transmit disruptions instantly through global prices. In contrast, 70 90% of clean energy costs are upfront capital. Once built, solar, wind, batteries and grids deliver energy for years, regardless of market disruption. If sustained, elevated fossil fuel prices could add 1-2trn in annual gross oil and gas expenditure. That is comparable to the annual clean energy investment gap of 1.5trn, between current investment levels of 2trn and the 3.5trn needed to build a net zero and more resilient energy system all the way through to 2050. New fossil infrastructure now would lock in the next shock. New oil and gas fields typically take 5 10 years to reach production. Rooftop solar and heat pumps can scale within months. EVs are already structurally reducing oil demand. EV deployment alone could displace around 5 mb/d by 2030 and 9 10 mb/d by 2035, equivalent to roughly half of pre-crisis Hormuz oil flows. On top of already surging clean technology demand, a coordinated clean energy response could displace 20% of global oil and over 30% of global gas demand by 2035, permanently reducing exposure to future shocks.
2026 Changzhou Artificial Intelligence Terminal Trendy Products Conference Unveils Latest Innovations
CHANGSHU, China , April 16, 2026 -- The 2026 Changzhou Artificial Intelligence Terminal Trendy Products Conference, themed Empowering Devices, Enabling Smarter Living, opened on April 11, bringing together 20 companies to present 27 AI-powered devices. The showcase covered key use cases including daily mobility, home life, office efficiency and industrial applications, providing a snapshot of Changzhou s expanding capabilities in AI-enabled hardware. Changzhou has built a fully integrated AI device ecosystem spanning the entire value chain, supported by established industrial clusters in high-end equipment, electric vehicles (EVs) and next-generation electronics. The city is also expanding its presence in both domestic and international markets. In smart mobility, the city s EV output exceeded 800,000 units in 2025, with Li Auto ranking among the leading players in China s electric SUV market. Ninebot (Changzhou) Tech Co., Ltd. has held the top global position in smart electric two-wheeler sales for three consecutive years. In the healthcare segment, Jinmu Health Technology Co., Ltd. presented AI-enabled health devices at the conference, reflecting the growing role of AI in medical and wellness applications. In industrial robotics, collaborative robots made in Changzhou account for 50% of the domestic market, while JAKA robotic arms have been featured on a nationally televised cultural gala, showcasing their technical sophistication. In the smart home sector, robotic lawn mowers from Greenworks have delivered strong performance in international markets, ranking among the top three in the United States for battery-powered residential lawn and garden equipment.
