Charged EVs

MAY 8, 2023

The California legislature is considering a bill that would require most EVs sold in the state to be bidirectional-capable by 2027. During the recent California heat wave, Nuvve helped to reduce peak demands on the grid through the Emergency Load Reduction Program, using bidirectional-capable school buses to feed energy back to the grid.

Lithium, a critical material used in high-charge-density batteries for electric vehicles and grid-scale electricity storage, is a crucial element in the clean energy supply chain. The Salton Sea region of California has the potential to supply 600,000 tons of lithium each year, which exceeds the current annual US demand for lithium.
