How Will the Grid Need to Be Updated to Make the Roll Out of Electric Vehicles Viable?

 

Key Points:

  • Ways of increasing generation of electricity and capacity need to be increased to help take on the demand electric demand EVs could present.
  • Places where the grid needs to be managed have to be identified so they can handle EVs when they become more popular.
  • Batteries on the if constraints allows to discharge batteries and use that as a back up on the network

Commentary:

Electric vehicles are becoming more common across the United States. According to Pewresearch, in 2020 nearly 1.8 million EVs were registered which is three times as many as there were in 2016. But what does the future hold if more drivers are utilizing EVs and what sort of impacts could that have on our current grid structure. MarketScale asked Andy Bennett who is Chief Executive Officer at mPrest what sort of updates need to be made to the grid before it is able to handle that type of demand.

Targeting T Cells Within the Cancer Immunity Cycle
April 19, 2025

As cancer immunotherapy continues to reshape treatment landscapes, fine-tuning T-cell responses has become a critical frontier. Recent advances in 3D organoid models and high-content imaging are enabling scientists to closely mimic patient-specific tumor environments—unlocking insights into how T cells behave, respond, and falter under immune checkpoint blockade. With over 4,000 immune modulators in clinical…

Advanced In Vitro Technologies to Investigate Therapeutic Impact on the Cancer Immunity Cycle
April 19, 2025

As immunotherapy revolutionizes cancer treatment, the need for physiologically relevant preclinical models becomes more urgent than ever. Despite the success of immune checkpoint inhibitors, a large majority of patients fail to achieve long-lasting responses, prompting researchers to explore more complex and predictive assays. The cancer immunity cycle, first described in 2013, remains a central framework…

Inside Oncology Drug Development: Overcoming Resistance with Science
April 19, 2025

In the last two decades, oncology has undergone a transformation with over 300 new cancer therapies approved by the FDA—many offering novel mechanisms of action. Despite these innovations, resistance to treatment remains a critical challenge, with cancer cells evolving or adapting to evade even the most advanced therapeutics. This issue is particularly pressing given that…
