PG&E客户邀请to Pre-Enroll in Groundbreaking ‘Vehicle-to-Everything’ Pilot Programs, Leveraging Electric Vehicle Battery Power for Resilience Benefits and Helping Reduce Customer Bills
Programs Will Offer Financial Incentives to More than 1,000 Customers to Test Their Electric Vehicles as Mobile Batteries, Grid Resources
The new programs will offer customers financial incentives to integrate newbidirectional EV charging technology, which allows a customer’s electric vehicle to become a mobile battery, capable of storing electricity that can be used to provide onsite power or send power back to the grid during periods of peak electricity demand.
As outlined in its first everClimate Strategy Report, released in June,
Pre-enrollment allows
“Bidirectional EV charging is a game-changer for both the energy and transportation sectors. These pilot programs will help determine how to maximize the cost-effectiveness of bidirectional charging technology in providing a variety of customer and grid benefits,” said
