Oakland Unified Becomes First US School District with Fully Electric V2G Bus Fleet, Announced by Zum
May 16, 2024, 05:09 PM
In historic news, Oakland Unified School District (OUSDNews) has become the first major school district in the United States to transition to a fully electrified school bus system. The new fleet, announced by Zum, will be operational by August and features groundbreaking vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology, allowing the buses to discharge up to 2.7 megawatts and 2.1 gigawatt-hours back into the PG&E grid. This initiative is part of a broader push towards renewable energy and aims to make student transportation more sustainable. The development is seen as a significant step in integrating electric vehicles into the energy grid, potentially transforming half a million school buses across the country into a battery powerhouse for the grid.
