The summer heat was pushing America's energy grid to its limit, but a record number of V2G capable EVs came to the rescue.

    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

    And yet almost zero modern consumer EVs are sold with this technology…

      I think it’s just Ford, right? Rivians have the hardware and wiring to do it but it’s been coming soon™ since they came out.

        It was Ford. But the hardware was a disaster and they stopped selling it. Then they stopped selling the trucks.

    This has to be the most American solution to this problem.
