The California Independent System Operator Corporation (ISO), California’s non-profit grid operator, released its new five-year (2012-2016) strategic plan. Between now and 2020, wind and solar generation will quadruple within the ISO transmission grid at the same time electric vehicle charging increases significantly.

The 2016 Chevrolet Volt with an electric range of 53 miles [ 2 ] is the first commercial car that almost qualifies as a PHEVLER. PHEVLERs make our electric grid more efficient. [ 15 ] Electric power grids are designed with capacity to serve the highest power peaks demanded (e.g. PHEVLERs help support the electric grid.

In the study’s future 2018 grid scenarios that account for predicted coal plant retirements, PEVs would produce air emissions damages comparable to or slightly lower than HEVs. Life cycle emissions by pollutant and life cycle stage for each vehicle type in the recent (a) and future (b) PJM grid. Source: Weis et al. Click to enlarge.

Both rail and bus emissions decreased during this time, due in part to the state’s efforts to transition to cleaner fuels and to electrify public transportation. Other transportation-related findings include: As of the end of 2016, about half of all zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) ever sold in the US were bought in California.

It offers the solution to several significant transitions we need: moving society from burning fossil fuels to substituting renewable resource fuels such as solar, wind and biofuels; and from using fossil materials as fuel to using them for other recyclable uses.

This project is unique in that the buses will be charged during the day to take advantage of the renewable energy made available by the abundant solar and wind energy available on the island. VIA’s use of 100% renewable grid power ensures the battery electric buses will truly be zero emissions. Bloomington-Normal Public Transit System.

This level is still below the state’s first climate milestone (2020’s AB 32 goal, met four years early in 2016) of reducing to 431 MMTCO 2 e below 1990 levels. This is the result of policies promoting cleaner vehicle fuels and advanced clean vehicle standards. This is plausibly due to bus fleets becoming cleaner or electrified.
