New York utility Con Edison is trialling vehicle-to-grid (V2G) tech with electric school buses, and the project is now live. In particular, this is taking place in White Plains and San Diego–based company Nuvve Corporation is the tech leader on it.
Five Lion electric school buses are having their batteries hooked up to the Con Edison grid.
The Lion Electric buses take students to schools in the White Plains area in the daytime like normal school buses, and then they charge and discharge at a depot in North White Plains at what are considered ideal times. And then there are the times when the buses send electricity back into the grid.
