There have been vigorous debates pro and con in the United States and elsewhere over whether electric grids can support EVs at scale. Phoenix, Ariz., As in Palo Alto, it will likely be blown transformers or constantly flickering lights that signal there is an EV charging-load issue. The answer is a nuanced “perhaps.”

The current vehicle footprint-based Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards create a financial incentive for automakers to increase vehicle size, except under certain limited conditions of consumer preference for vehicle size, according to a study by University of Michigan researchers Kate Whitefoot and Steven Skerlos. 10 11 –5.17×10

The objective of the taskforce is initially to create a guideline for demonstration projects and design verification and later standardize in 2015 with field confirmation. This is necessary before a determination of charging frequency can be standardize and should include the second and third harmonic possibilities.

Delivery vans, commercial-use vans, and pickup trucks are considered light-duty vehicles. Electric school buses equipped with vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology also have tremendous potential as “batteries on wheels” that can store electricity and provide it to the grid or to buildings when needed.

O’Dowd: In March, in North Carolina, a self-driving Tesla blew past a school bus with its red lights flashing and hit a child in the road, just like we showed in our Super Bowl commercial. Then it expanded into Phoenix, also relatively easy.

The Renault-Nissan Alliance is building fleet charging stations in Portland and Phoenix. The Chevy Volt is going to count on an overnight charge from a standard wall outlet. The true impact of electric vehicles should consider the make-up of the power grids where these cars will be used.
