Proposed California Bill SB-233 Mandates Bidirectional Charging for EVs to Advance Grid and Climate Protection

Driivz

The bill, SB-233 , aims to advance grid resilience and protect the climate by using EVs as “batteries on wheels,” tapping their stored energy to balance electricity supply and demand rather than bringing high-polluting peak generators online. Vehicle-to-building works much the same way but on a larger scale.
