Electric Buses Powering the Grid | US News
Description
Electric school buses across the U.S. are doing double duty—shuttling kids while quietly powering the grid during heat waves. With Vehicle-to-Grid tech, these idle summer buses become mobile power backups, helping ease peak demand. Though still emerging, V2G is seen as a game-changer for grid resilience, especially as states like California mandate V2G-ready buses. Challenges remain—cost, tech standardization, battery wear—but innovations like using buses as emergency cooling centers show how creative solutions are already taking root.
