New York V2G Project Using 5 Electric School Buses Is Live

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.

It’s been a couple of months since we’ve covered FreeWire, and 5 years since we first covered it, but now we have our first news about the company leaping eastward across the pond.
FreeWire produces battery-backed ultra-fast charging stations. They are not necessarily for use off the grid. Rather, the battery generally acts as a buffer during times of peak demand in order to avoid high peak demand chargers and improve grid flexibility. On the flip side, it can also put out more power than other stations, due to its ability to add a “boost” of electricity from the battery as well as the grid. The charging station is called a “Boost Charger.”
