Electric School Buses Revolutionizing Grid Energy Storage

In a groundbreaking initiative, 74 electric school buses equipped with Vehicle to Grid Technology (V to G) are being utilized to revolutionize energy storage on the grid. These buses, operated by a startup called ZUM, not only transport special needs students in a quiet and clean manner but also serve as an innovative solution to store and provide surplus energy back to the grid. With their predictable daily schedules and large batteries, the buses strategically charge during peak solar energy hours and discharge to the grid during high demand times, offering a reliable and efficient energy management system.
