The California Energy Commission approved three major alternative fuel infrastructure agenda items totaling more than $6 million. The transportation investments were funded through the Energy Commission’s Alternative and Renewable Fuel and Vehicle Technology Program (ARFVTP). Heavy duty, vehicle-to-grid fleet: A $2.3-million
Bloom Energy will install solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) Bloom Energy Servers, or Bloom Boxes ( earlier post ), at eleven AT&T sites in California. megawatts (MW) of onsite power that reduces CO 2 emissions by approximately 50% compared to the grid and virtually eliminates all SO x , NO x , and other harmful smog forming particulate emissions.

The California Energy Commission’s (CEC) Alternative and Renewable Fuel and Vehicle Technology Program (ARFVTP) approved four regional planning grants to prepare for electric vehicles. Cities taking part include San Francisco, SanJose, Oakland, and Berkeley, along with Marin County.
Since its inception, PACE has mobilized more than $1 billion dollars towards clean energy projects, including smart grid development; energy efficiency in buildings, appliances, and industries; and a wide range of renewable energy technologies, including solar, wind, and advanced biofuels.

San Diego-Carlsbad. San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward. SanJose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara. Residential: The primary, most convenient and cost efficient fueling option for many drivers is residential charging. Electrify America also will continue to invest in the six Cycle 1 metros: Fresno. Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim.
T he Plug in 2008 National PHEV Conference in SanJose by most accounts was a big success. Seamless integration of PHEVs into the electric grid will require close collaboration between the automobile and electric sectors.” That’s why this relationship with EPRI and the utility partners is so important.”
In addition, other use cases/technologies are also under consideration including destination charging at California state parks to increase access to L2s, and, for higher power DC charging applications, targeted battery storage to manage peak demand, ease grid loads, etc. ARB may approve, partially approve or disapprove the Plan.
Plug-in 2008 in SanJose, California witnessed a noon-time address by new heavy-weight convert, Andy Grove, former CEO of Intel. One week earlier, former Vice President Al Gore issued his well-received challenge to make the American grid 100% renewable in ten years.
With the coming solar feed-in tariff legislation moving through Sacramento that will pay us for the extra solar energy we produce and feed back into the grid. Good for the grid, good for you, good for the electric company (who won’t meet their AB 32 state mandates for renewable energy generation without our help).
Williams joined IBM in SanJose, Calif., An expert in power electronic converters, electrical machines, and novel grid components, he spent almost his entire career in academia, conducting research in power electronics. He had earned bachelor's and master's degrees in electrical engineering at Georgia Tech.
And at the headquarters of Pacific Gas and Electric, utility executives are preparing “heat maps” of neighborhoods that they fear may overload the power grid in their exuberance for electric cars.&#. And local electrical grids may need reinforcement. Here’s the full text of the entire article, in case the link goes bad: [link].
There are already spaces in New York City and Los Angeles, and there are now two in the San Francisco Bay Area, where I’m located. The newest Polestar Space just opened in Silicon Valley, at the Westfield Valley Fair, 2855 Stevens Creek Boulevard, SanJose. There’s a second location in Corte Madera in Marin County.
More recently, Gage became the CEO of EVGrid , working on Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) tech. Chapter member Ian Wright cofounded Tesla then later founded Wrightspeed, a company that built large hybrid trucks in SanJose. “The car was powered by thousands of small lithium batteries,” Pohorsky explained. Tesla licensed the technology.”
charger is also required, though ideally the existing motor controllers might be used as grid chargers. Vehicle-to-grid interface technology is also particularly well suited to Plug-in vehicles. Recharge a Car, Recharge the Grid, Recharge the Planet Google.org supports PHEV & V2G with [link] project.
These include voyage planning, fueling (charging), cargo operations, and task management, among other activities. Studying "smart grids" with emphasis on co-joining BEVs with houses and commercial buildings. Sterling's career in marine transportation also provides him experience in transportation logistics.
Small long-term evaluation program, including modeling of vehicle-to-grid building benefits and economics, begun with Southern California Edison, joined by EPRI, other utilities, US DOE. Has shown some concept fuel-cell PHEVs. Blue Concept PHEV Van with diesel or hydrogen fuel cells and rooftop photovoltaic. Batteries not ready.

Their goal is nothing short of fueling the electric transportation industry. At the 2008 Plug-In Conference in SanJose, Coulomb had the charging game all to themselves, but they were one of half a dozen charging players at this year’s show. V2G isn’t something for the future – it’s happening right now.
As I read in the SanJose Mercury News about California's flex-fuel fleet fiasco. a near silent electric trolley bus passes by my window on Haight St in San Francisco, an old technology tried, true, and spurned by the environmental "experts" of the present and recent past. It's cheap to make a car flex-fuel.
