Veolia completes refuse truck vehicle-to-grid trial in the UK – Charged EVs

Baua Electric

This would allow it to provide the grid with a daily flexible power capacity of about 200 MW. Collection vehicles are ideally suited for V2G applications, says Veolia, because their batteries are six times larger than those in an average car, and the fleet is typically parked at peak energy consumption times. “By
