Automakers from General Motors to Volvo Cars, alongside utilities and charging app operators are calculating their financial cut as EVs that allow their owners to sell power back to grids become a more realistic prospect. Bidirectional, or vehicle-to-grid (V2G), charging lets EV owners charge at overnight off-peak rates then sell power back to grids at a profit during peak hours.

That's the motivation behind the big news about Hyundai's newly announced partnership with the advanced materials firm Toray Industries. The two companies are mum on the details, but a quick look at Toray's product lineup indicates that carbon fiber is in play, and that could be, well, interesting.

Why the slowdown? Replacing the floppy disk system isn't a simple reboot, explains Ars Technica. SFMTA must overhaul the entire train-control system it's connected to, including a loop cable that "has less bandwidth than an old AOL dial-up modem," says spokesperson Michael Roccaforte. Paying for the new system: There are also budgetary issues for the project, which will run "hundreds of millions." While ridership is up year-over-year, SFMTA says it hasn't quite rebounded from the pandemic, with 433,000 weekday riders, about 68% of 2019.
