In recent testimony, Nuvve CEO Gregory Poilasne told the lawmakers that bidirectional charging can reduce the total cost of EV ownership, and that it’s essential for integrating more renewable energy into the grid. More and more renewable energy is being added to the grid, but the distribution system has to be designed for the peaks.
