Georgia Tech study suggests unlinking EVs from CAFE and coordinating with power sector for low-cost benefits

Green Car Congress

The controlled charging of EVs can reduce electricity costs and improve the integration of wind energy. The benefit per average vehicle is small at low to moderate EV adoption levels because EVs are a small fraction of the fleet. A negative value means the case has a lower TCE than the reference case.
