Proposed California Bill SB-233 Mandates Bidirectional Charging for EVs to Advance Grid and Climate Protection

Driivz

Use cases for bidirectional charging Because vehicle-to-home is the simplest bidirectional charging use case to implement, and because Californians are already motivated by the states’ history of rolling blackouts due to overtaxed grids, V2H solutions will lead the way in marketplace availability.

Volkswagen striving to make production of the electric ID. carbon-neutral

Green Car Congress

Currently unavoidable CO 2 emissions are offset by investments in certified climate protection projects elsewhere. The plant in Zwickau is already using externally produced power from renewable sources. Unavoidable emissions in the manufacturing process are offset by investments in certified climate projects.

BASF intensifying R & D of products for sustainable electromobility; triple-digit million euro investment in batteries over next 5 years

Green Car Congress

Electromobility will only significantly contribute to environmental and climate protection when the electricity from the batteries has been generated high efficiently and with less CO 2. Therefore we are investing in research to find ways of generating electricity from renewable energy technologies such as wind and solar energy.

Perspective: Regional Greenhouse Gas Cap-and-Trade Programs May be the Solution

Green Car Congress

The legislation would also provide new incentives for domestic oil and gas drilling, nuclear power plant construction, carbon capture and storage, and renewable energy sources like wind and solar. Linkage can reduce the overall cost of meeting an emissions target by increasing the breadth of reduction opportunities available.
