ELECTRIC TRUCKS AND ELECTRIC GRIDS

Alberta’s idled electric trucks are being used as mobile generators to help power overworked and aging electricity grids. Power is being generated from fuel cells in the trucks. This vehicle-to-grid technology employs special chargers to push unused energy from electric vehicle (EV) batteries back to the power grid for storage. The electricity in-storage can support the grid during weather-related outages or to reduce the demand during peak periods. The result is less vehicle traffic on highways, reduced energy use at peak times and a cleaner way to store energy.
