The garage studies the integration of the electric vehicle into the power grid system where it either charges or discharges to accommodate the owner’s electricity needs. But an increasingly important energy resource is little more than a digital electric meter. Smart meters have uses far beyond electric vehicles.

If it’s manufactured on a ‘dirty’ power grid it becomes a major source of emissions over the EV lifecycle. The New Zealand Power Grid. 40% of our energy comes from renewable sources, such as hydro, geothermal and wind. For this reason, the location where the EV’s battery is manufactured is significant.

To reach the 80x30 goal, the US power grid would need to add between 60 and 80 GW of new clean power every year (double the record 35 GW of renewables added in 2020). Clean energy projects, such as wind and solar farms, would see a windfall. So it's unclear just how much solar, wind, and batteries would grow.
