California Energy Commission awards more than $1.8M additional funding to further UCSD microgrid project; energy storage, EV charging and V2G services are components

Green Car Congress

The California Energy Commission (CEC) approved funding to advance further the development of its pioneering 42 MW peak microgrid and expand electric vehicle charging at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). The return on this investment extends far beyond the San Diego campus. The Commission approved a $1.6-million

More details about California’s proposal requiring bidirectional charging capabilities for all EVs

Charged EVs

You could do V2G through the DC port of the vehicle—this is what we are doing with school buses here in California, where our charging station converts AC to DC and then connects to the DC port of the vehicle to provide power. The bill doesn’t say how the bidirectional capability needs to be integrated. That’s one way.

Road Test: 2022 Chrysler Pacifica Limited Plug-in Hybrid

Clean Fleet Report

The Pacifica Hybrid does not have a Level 3/DC fast charging capability. The regenerative braking system, which recharges the 16-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery, converts kinetic energy into electricity when braking or coasting. San Diego to San Francisco? We would like to meet and talk with those people!

Sandia-led team designs feasible hydrogen fuel-cell coastal research vessel; implications for large hydrogen-fueled vessels

Green Car Congress

The fuel cells provide DC power, which must be conditioned, converted and inverted to provide bus DC and AC power, respectively. The Zero-V project evolved from earlier Sandia work on the SF-BREEZE, a hydrogen-powered passenger ferry designed to operate in the San Francisco Bay. Earlier post.).
