• Oakland Unified School District has the first ever 100% electric school bus fleet in the US.
• These buses not only reduce pollution from student transportation, but also contribute to the power grid.
• Each bus has a bidirectional charger that allows it to send unused energy back to the grid during off-peak hours.
• This “vehicle-to-grid” (V2G) technology helps to balance the power grid and store renewable energy.
• The electric buses are expected to send 2.1 gigawatt hours of energy back to the grid annually.
• This innovative approach could be a model for other school districts and electric vehicle fleets in the future.
