New report published by Fermata Energy, in collaboration with WattTime, reveals how bidirectional V2X charging can turn EVs into a net carbon sink 🌎🚗⚡️♻️ We explore how V2X charging can cut CO₂ further than standard EVs by strategically charging and discharging EV batteries. EVs are crucial for decarbonizing transportation, and V2X technology can further optimize their impact by integrating them with the grid in a way that maximizes renewable energy use and minimizes emissions. But today, V2X is typically optimized for financial savings only — not emissions. Since electricity prices and marginal carbon intensity don’t always align, smarter policies and incentives should take advantage of readily available marginal carbon signals to unlock the full climate potential of V2X.

"2025 may be the year we see more widespread adoption of EVs for bidirectional charging by both consumers and fleet owners," this CNET article predicts: https://lnkd.in/gAS3GjbV Fermata Energy’s Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) bidirectional charging technologies turn electric vehicles (EVs) into distributed storage resources while parked, enabling EV owners to earn money while supporting the transition to sustainable, affordable electric transportation and to a renewable and resilient grid. We have successfully deployed our V2X solutions across the US and delivered thousands of dollars of revenue and/or savings per EV a year to EV owners, fleets, and property owners. Check out the article or contact the Fermata Energy team to learn more about how V2X "could change the game for fleet owners." 🚗 🔌 ⚡ #V2G #V2X #BidirectionalCharging #ElectricVehicles #EVs #Electrification

Steve Letendre, PhD, Fermata Energy's Senior Director of Regulatory Affairs, will join Tim Echols, Georgia Public Service Commissioner, and Christopher Smith, Chief Government Affairs Officer at Ford Motor Company, on a webinar hosted by United Consulting to discuss V2X technology and how vehicles can power the future.

Steve Letendre, PhD, Fermata Energy's Senior Director of Regulatory Affairs, shared his perspectives on why the transition to advanced energy technologies is inevitable. ⚡ "The transition to advanced energy technologies isn’t just a shift; it’s an upgrade. Solar, wind, storage, and EVs are proving themselves to be the smarter, faster, and better choices for meeting our energy needs. The economics and benefits of these advanced energy technologies are simply too strong to ignore. Cheaper, faster, and better wins every time. And this time, the winners are the technologies that will power a healthier future."

Professor David Slutzky, Fermata Energy's Founder and Chairman, was recently interviewed by Generation180, a national nonprofit organization inspiring and equipping individuals to take action on clean energy. In the interview, he explains how using EVs for bidirectional charging can play an important role in grid stability, while also generating income for EV owners. #V2X #V2G #EVs #BidirectionalCharging

Fermata Energy’s Senior Director of Product & Program Management, Claire Weiller, will be attending Smart Grid Observer’s V2X Business, Policy and Technology Forum UK in London next week! Claire will join other industry experts and utility professionals to discuss the potential, progress and hurdles facing widespread deployment of V2X in the UK. Results from V2X demonstrations and trials will be discussed with an eye toward refining business models and policies, identifying technologies, and overcoming current challenges facing V2G / V2X rollout in the UK and EU. According to Ofgem, the UK could have almost 11 million EVs on the road by 2030. If 50% of these vehicles were vehicle-to-grid (V2G) enabled, this would open up 22 TWh of flexible EV discharging capacity per year and could provide approximately 16GW of daily flexible capacity to the grid. The UK government plans to decarbonise the network by 2035, and EV batteries have a key role to play by providing energy during peak demand periods, contributing to grid stability by regulating frequency and voltage, and storing excess renewable energy for later use. In short, V2G has tremendous potential for enabling the renewables-centric UK grid of the future. Register now: https://lnkd.in/etmaYraa #V2X #V2G

In collaboration with Fermata Energy, Ameresco was selected by the US Department of Defense's Environmental Security Technology Certification Program (ESTCP) to demonstrate Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) bidirectional electric vehicle (EV) charging technology as a scalable solution to fleet electrification at DoD installations, given its ability to contribute to energy efficiency and reduce the Total Cost of Ownership for EVs and corresponding infrastructure. V2X bidirectional EV charging technology can reduce peak electric loads on site to reduce energy bill demand charges and participate in demand response programs to earn revenue from the local utility.
