Maryland&#8217;s Montgomery County already has the largest fleet of electric school buses in the United States, but it also wants to use its vehicles as &#8220;batteries on wheels&#8221;, sending power back to the grid to ease peak demand and help the clean energy transition.<\/p>\n<p>As part of a broad green agenda, the large county just outside Washington is working to expand its fleet of 86 all-electric school buses to 1,400 within a decade and is installing rows of bright yellow chargers at school district facilities. Those chargers hold a two-for-one secret. Not only can they refill a depleted bus battery in hours &#8211; they will also be able to route stored energy back to the electricity grid when needed.<\/p>\n<p>Gregory J. Salois, director of the Montgomery County Public Schools Department of Transportation, noted that the United States has almost 500,000 school buses. &#8220;If eventually you can get that massive idle power source to feed back into the grid &#8230; it&#8217;s phenomenal on the revenue side for whoever owns these buses, and it&#8217;s great for folks that lost their power,&#8221; he told Context.<\/p>\n<p>Source:<a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eceee.org\/all-news\/news\/news-2023\/batteries-on-wheels-ev-school-buses-shore-up-us-electricity-grid\/\"> ECEEE<\/a> <\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/batteries-on-wheels-ev-school-buses-shore-up-us-electricity-grid\/\">Batteries on wheels: EV school buses shore up US electricity grid<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[835,1886,836,575,8101,5070,799,10533],"class_list":["post-115148","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-battery","tag-bus","tag-electricity","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-ey","tag-grid","tag-school","tag-wheel"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115148","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=115148"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115148\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=115148"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=115148"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=115148"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
