Canada looks to Norway for lessons in how to manage the transition to EVs – Charged EVs

Baua Electric

Norway is the world’s undisputed EV capital—roughly a quarter of all cars on its roads are now EVs, and the country is on track to end the sale of gas and diesel cars by 2025. Norway started down the electrification path over a decade ago, beginning with several policies meant to encourage consumers to buy EVs.

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

Charged EVs

In recent testimony, Nuvve CEO Gregory Poilasne told the lawmakers that bidirectional charging can reduce the total cost of EV ownership, and that it’s essential for integrating more renewable energy into the grid. Going bi adds several nifty new benefits to driving electric. That’s one way.

Slashing gas storage facilities. Additional fees and charges added to electricity prices. On a good or windy day these produce around 20% of the UK electricity needs. What we have not done so well is to ensure that we have a solid base level of generation to supply electricity when there is no sun and no wind. Biomass 5%.

What is Electrification of Transportation?

Driivz

For the transportation sector, electrification means replacing fossil fuels with electricity as the means of powering light-duty vehicles, medium- and heavy-duty trucks, and buses. The primary goal is to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and, ultimately, contribute to mitigating the effects of climate change on the planet.

What is Decarbonization?

Driivz

Decarbonization (or decarbonisation) is reducing the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) released into the atmosphere as a component of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. What is the Role of Electric Vehicles in Decarbonizing Transportation? BEVs fueled on today’s average grid electricity are 105-124 g CO2/km.
