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. A handful of bidirectional-capable EVs are available today, and automakers are quickly implementing the technology.

Study: even with high LDV electrification, low-carbon biofuels will be necessary to meet 80% GHG reduction target; “daunting” policy implications

Green Car Congress

These 9 combinations became the reference scenarios with defined fuel requirements and GHG emissions. The reference case scenarios assume no change to GHG intensity from current levels. In the climate-targeted scenarios, they assumed that electrified vehicles receive their electricity from an 80% decarbonized electricity grid.

Using the PHEV (Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle) to Transition Society Seamlessly and Profitably From Fossil Fuel to 100% Renewable Energy

Green Car Congress

In this paper PHEV refers solely to the long-range PHEV of 60 miles (100 km) electric-only range.) At present, PHEV technology alone is equipped to improve the current electric grid. Appendix C: Intricacies of the Grid—transfer of power vs. energy. Appendix E: PHEV and the Electrical Grid—fast charge v.
