School may be out for summer, but the electric school buses shuttling kids around are still hard at work, shoring up America’s electric grid just as a crippling heat dome threatened to push it to its limits.
The World Resources Institute’s (WRI) Electric School Bus Initiative reports that a number of fully deployed vehicle-to-grid (V2G) projects involving some 230 electric school buses are now able to supply 8 MWh of power back to the grid at any given time
California currently leads the US in developing and adopting V2G school bus technology.
