California-based electric vehicle charging technology developer Nuvve Holding Corp. said vehicle-to-grid connectivity could play an important role in supporting U.S. grid stability in 2025 and beyond. A white paper released by the company pointed out that the adoption of EV school buses promises to be a key driver of the bidirectional charging infrastructure market.
The report asserts that EV adoption is hampered more broadly by a lack of charging infrastructure, particularly in low-income areas and along inter-city routes. Nuvve calls for more charging stations in high-traffic locations, such as convenience stores, shopping malls and hotels.
In addition, the white paper said, “for commercial heavy-duty electric vehicles, the energy needs are even higher, and high-power charging is needed at depots, warehouses, logistics centers, ports, and alongside the [main] truck transit routes.”
One of the main points of the white paper is that EV reliance on an electric grid that increasingly depends on variable renewable energy is leading to a “tipping point.” High retail prices for electricity, increasing demand from all loads (e.g., electrification, manufacturing, EVs) and delays in solar interconnection are combining to create a crisis situation, according to the Nuvve white paper:
