The bill, SB-233 , aims to advance grid resilience and protect the climate by using EVs as “batteries on wheels,” tapping their stored energy to balance electricity supply and demand rather than bringing high-polluting peak generators online. California, the EV adoption and clean energy leader in the U.S.,

Unfortunately, due to our grid situation, electric cars are still too early for this strategic goal in the sense of German climate protection efforts. The idea of providing the necessary storage of wind and solar energy with batteries is utopian, as the Leopoldina, Acatech and the Union of Academies of Sciences have emphasized.

Currently unavoidable CO 2 emissions are offset by investments in certified climate protection projects elsewhere. Volkswagen is achieving major CO 2 improvements in the production of battery cells, one of the hotspots in the supply chain. The targeted reduction of these raw materials within the battery cells is also important.
