Vehicle to Grid School Buses

What is happening?  San Diego Gas & Electric partnered with V2G to offer a fleet of electric-powered school buses in El Cajon, California that can send electricity back to California’s grid.

Why is this important?  San Diego Gas & Electric also installed eight 60-kilowatt direct current fast chargers in the school district’s bus yard in El Cajon.

How will this be important? “This is another distributed energy resource that’s mobile, that’s on the road,” said Miguel Romero, SDG&E’s vice president of energy innovation. “There’s a significant amount of capacity in these batteries.”
