The bill, SB-233 , aims to advance grid resilience and protect the climate by using EVs as “batteries on wheels,” tapping their stored energy to balance electricity supply and demand rather than bringing high-polluting peak generators online. Vehicle-to-building works much the same way but on a larger scale.

The winds had barely died down when electric-power specialists and others began calling for a radical overhaul of Puerto Rico’s electricity networks, one that would emphasize renewable energy, distributed generation, and, critically, microgrids. A microgrid is like a miniaturized, tightly controlled version of a power grid.

The general principle for bidirectional charging is EVs can either feed power from a charged vehicle back into the house (vehicle-to-home or V2H) or interact with the electric grid itself (vehicle-to-grid or V2G). These V2H/V2G-enabled vehicles offer some three to 10 days powering the fridge and lights in case the power goes down.

A new solar array and two wind turbines feed the administration building’s circuit breaker panel, where the five Volt batteries work in parallel to supply power to the building, delivering net-zero energy use on an annual basis. The batteries also can provide back-up power to the building for four hours in the event of an outage.
