More details about California’s proposal requiring bidirectional charging capabilities for all EVs

Charged EVs

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. That’s one way.

How EVs Are Reducing Carbon (CO2) Emissions

Blink Charging

The upstream, “well to wheel” emissions of the EV are linked to electricity generation and the electrical grid, with lower emissions in regions that use more renewable energy sources. Let’s not forget our carbon footprint. They can be charged using clean energy, reducing their environmental impact.

EV Charging: A Look at the International Landscape

EV Connect

The EV revolution will only go as far as the global network of charging stations allows — meaning that the key indicator is not EV sales but how quickly countries and their governments are moving to prepare their grids for the energy demands of those vehicles. The demand promises to be highest in the Asia Pacific region during that time.
