Electric cars and trucks charged at the stations will have their emissions offset through renewable energy. This technology allows the vehicle to recharge at low power demand times and can also be discharged to supply the grid with power during peak power demand hours. The project is the first of its kind in the United States.

Almost half of the EcoCAR teams chose to design EREVs, including Ohio State, University of Wisconsin, Virginia Tech, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Mississippi State University, North Carolina State University, Penn State and University of Victoria. Renewable fuels (when a liquid fuel is required). Plug-in capability.

Combined with AC Transit’s already-installed solar capacity, this solar installation will produce the renewable electricity equivalent to what will be required to produce 180 kg/day of green hydrogen. The project includes quick-charging stations at this terminal layover in route to recharge bus batteries.
