More details about California’s proposal requiring bidirectional charging capabilities for all EVs

Charged EVs

In recent testimony, Nuvve CEO Gregory Poilasne told the lawmakers that bidirectional charging can reduce the total cost of EV ownership, and that it’s essential for integrating more renewable energy into the grid. A handful of bidirectional-capable EVs are available today, and automakers are quickly implementing the technology.

How Irdeto is protecting EV charging infrastructure from cyber-attacks

Charged EVs

Insecure communications leave the door open to threats ranging from petty theft (fraudulent billing) to major data breaches (theft of vehicle data or customer credit card info) to disaster-movie scenarios (sabotage of electrical grids). The ISO 15118 series of standards governs the interface between the vehicle and the charge point.

Using the PHEV (Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle) to Transition Society Seamlessly and Profitably From Fossil Fuel to 100% Renewable Energy

Green Car Congress

At present, PHEV technology alone is equipped to improve the current electric grid. The car can refuel during periods of low demand on the grid, and if equipped with a bi-directional charger, can actually replenish the grid with excess energy gleaned from a renewable resource. slow charge. Appendix F: Biofuel Issues.
