An off-grid solar tracker powers this EV charging station

Baua Electric

Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire, has installed an off-grid solar tracker EV charging station for its employees. Designed for climate resilience, it sheds snow quickly, stows flat in high winds, and sits high enough to avoid flooding. Its first installations will take place in New England, followed by a US-wide expansion.

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.
