🚌⚡The City of Oakland introduces the U.S.'s first all-electric school bus fleet, which will also power homes! Beginning in August, the 74 vehicles will supply 2.1 gigawatt-hours of electricity to the Bay Area power grid, enough #energy for 300 to 400 homes. The buses aim to cut carbon dioxide emissions annually by 25,000 tons in a city disproportionately affected by pollution from various sources. Read the article here: https://lnkd.in/g45eN5Ei 🔋 Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) is featured for contributing to this project. PG&E funded necessary transmission upgrades for 2.7 megawatts of power to the bus chargers and will compensate Zūm for the electricity returned to the grid by the buses.🤝PG&E is also involved in VGIC’s Utility Collaboration Forum (UCF), a collaborative environment bringing together utilities and VGIC’s diverse network to tackle the challenges and opportunities of managed charging, bidirectional charging, and distributed energy resource paired charging. 💡To learn more about UCF: https://lnkd.in/ggqwr34c #ElectricVehicle #EVcharging #EVs #electrification

🚌 The familiar yellow School Bus is learning a new trick, can you guess? 💰 Passive income! School districts that switch to electric buses earn up to $12,000 a summer per bus! Districts can use that money to hire more teachers, enhance facilities, subsidize meals - you name it. 💡 Utility companies pay to use the bus as a backup battery, which helps stabilize the grid and meet peak demand. *An added bonus: Peak electricity demand happens in the summer, when buses sit unused. 🎙 This is a fantastic conversation between Karyn Charvat of PowerForward DuPage and Joshua Williams of Highland Electric Fleets about big changes coming soon to a bus stop near you! #ElectricSchoolBus #Electrification #EVCharging
