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

Driivz

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. Vehicle-to-building works much the same way but on a larger scale.

Audi & Hager Group investigating bidirectional charging at home

Green Car Congress

As this proportion grows, however, the basic dilemma associated with these renewable energy sources remains: first, electricity cannot always be supplied when it is required and second, on sunny days and in high-wind conditions, there is often a lack of capacity for storing the energy generated.

Hydrogen has the potential to increase the proportion of renewable energies used, particularly in the transport and heating sectors. Hydrogen generated using renewable energies can thus significantly reduce carbon dioxide emissions in the transport and heating sectors. Structure of the HYDROSOL reactor. Source: DLR.
