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. Then it takes the DC from the bus, or car, and converts it back to AC to provide power for the grid. That’s one way.

If you have home charging, it’s a bit like parking your car at the gas station every night, and starting each day completely refueled. Level 2 chargers cost as little as $500 to $800 at stores like Amazon and Walmart and can be installed at home with the help of an electrician. Electric car charging is already much cheaper than gas.

When our solar system was very young, there were no planets—only a diffuse disk of gas and dust circled the sun. Some of those planetesimals, as astronomers call them, grew to be hundreds of kilometers across as they swept up more dust and gas within the swirling solar nebula. The Dawn spacecraft used solar-electric propulsion.
