Jenkins has also helped push Congress to think more seriously about the power grid, releasing a report last year that showed that much of the 43 percent emissions reduction expected by 2030 would be squandered if the United States doesn’t double the pace of transmission upgrades. power-grid transmission.

Electrify America is planning around 3,500 fast-charging points in North America by the end of the year. This will allow green electricity from the solar energy system to be stored in the vehicle and fed back into the home network if needed. Volkswagen is expanding the public fast-charging network in the US and China as well.

One of the common arguments you hear from people in America who are not fans of the idea of electric vehicles is that they are mostly charged from electricity produced from coal power plants. I expect that the states with greenest grids will also continue to adopt EVs at a faster rate than high coal powered grid states.

When an EV is plugged into a charger, it can give back energy to the power grid or any other required places during peak demand and only charge when the overall demand is lower.  They may take up a lot of clean energy produced by solar panels during the day and return it to the grid at night.

Another study found that if people choose to charge their EVs during times when there’s less demand on the power grid, we could cut emissions by another 18% – and maybe even allow EVs to support the grid. Let’s not forget our carbon footprint. They can be charged using clean energy, reducing their environmental impact.
