Smart EV Load Management
Moe Khatib2022-06-17T19:31:48-04:00This guide provides a framework for understanding smart EV load management through various programs and case studies.
Paving the Way: Vehicle-to-Grid Standards for Electric Vehicles
Moe Khatib2022-06-17T19:36:34-04:00An overview of Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) standards and a regulatory framework for implementing the technology.
Health and Climate Impacts from Long-Haul Truck Electrification
Spencer Burget2021-07-12T19:03:17-04:00LBNL researchers developed an integrated assessment approach to study the health and climate impacts of long-haul truck electrification across the United States.
Clean Buses for New York Kids
Spencer Burget2021-04-07T12:50:27-04:00Jobs to Move America (JMA) unveiled a new report about electric school bus technology and deployment, including policy recommendations for how New York can use a transition to electric school bus fleets to improve air quality for children while building a just recovery for working families.
Electric Vehicles are Driving Electric Rates Down
Nicole Lepre2020-07-02T09:45:45-04:00This analysis examines costs and revenues associated with EVs between 2012 and 2019 in the two utility service territories in the US with the most EVs of any--Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) and Southern California Edison (SCE).
Best Practices for Commercial and Industrial EV Rates
Conner Smith2020-05-20T15:01:55-04:00Traditional commercial and industrial (C&I) electricity rates can present a barrier to EV adoption by erasing the EV fuel cost savings relative to gasoline or diesel. This paper discusses strategies that can be used to design EV rates for the C&I sector that balance multiple objectives.
Public and Electric Utility Support for Electric Buses and Trucks
Conner Smith2020-02-13T08:11:53-05:00This report provides an overview of public and utility funding for three major categories of medium- and heavy duty EVs: transit buses, school buses, and trucks. It builds on recent reports covering the market in California and finds that the business case for investing in electric buses and trucks is improving and electric models already have lower lifetime costs than conventional models in some cases.
Colorado Electrification & Decarbonization Study
Nicole Lepre2019-12-05T12:49:19-05:00The present study aims to access the impacts of incorporating electrification of other economic sectors (and hydrogen production) into a carbon constrained electricity system across the state of Colorado.
Vehicle-Grid Integration
Nick Nigro2019-10-24T20:51:21-04:00This brief lays out the challenges and opportunities of vehicle-grid integration (VGI). Electric vehicles (EVs) can help increase the utilization of existing electrical grid assets and put downward pressure on electricity rates by decreasing the average cost of delivering electricity. Many aspects of VGI, including time-of-use (TOU) rates and demand response programs have similar characteristics to other grid management programs.
Preparing for an Electric Vehicle Future: How Utilities Can Succeed
Conner Smith2020-02-10T19:50:47-05:00Combining results from an industry survey with personal insights of utility industry experts, the paper delivers recommendations and best practices for improving how utilities should support, plan and deploy EV charging infrastructure.
