Summary

Project is addressing VTO’s core objective of reducing the cost of PEVs, and VTO’s specific Electrification R&D objective of understanding the potential impacts of EV charging on the nation’s electric grid – in both cases through pioneering V2G technology in heavy-duty vehicles

Overall Objectives

  • Create a compelling value proposition for electric school buses based on a competitive total cost of ownership
  • Advance the technical maturity of selected medium-duty electric drive components to achieve superior energy efficiency and reduce operating costs
  • Enable V2G and V2B income-generating grid integration

Objectives this Period

  • Advance the elements needed to enable electric school bus fleets to function as DERs that can provide active, compensated forms of grid support
    • Specification and procurement of high-power bidirectional EVSEs
    • Interconnection contracting for EV-based distributed energy resources (DERs)
    • Metering and tariffs to support service provision on utility and RTO networks
