Back in the 1800s, electricity distribution was a short-range business, driven by nearby DC generators. The river runs from the Sierra Nevada mountains to downtown Sacramento, where it connects to the Sacramento River. If the AC generators failed, the facility had two small DC generators as backups. That changed in 1895.

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. Then it takes the DC from the bus, or car, and converts it back to AC to provide power for the grid.

In 2030, McKinsey estimates that there may be as many as 48 million EVs plugging into the US power grid, which means that utility providers are already preparing for the increased load. This helps offset the cost of demand fees. For example: Let’s consider a site host that has a DCFC that is connected directly to the electricity grid.
