SEATTLE — Puget Sound Energy (PSE) has completed installing five vehicle-to-grid charging systems at two Western Washington districts, and when the buses aren’t busy taking students to and from school, they’ll be plugged into the chargers, which can transfer energy in both directions instead of just charging the buses, according to PSE.
The Olympia School District and, Snoqualmie Valley School District currently have the Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) fast charging stations installed, and during peak energy times, when the buses are done with routes, PSE can request that they send power back to the grid, helping to keep the lights on across our communities.
They can also serve as backup power sources during emergencies…
