Florida and California Have This Need in Common: Clean Backup Power
SHARE

Natural disasters can wreak havoc on communities, causing widespread power outages and leaving people without essential services. In the aftermath of Hurricane Milton in Orlando, Florida, the sound of fossil fuel generators filled the air as residents scrambled to keep their refrigerators running and essential equipment powered. For those with electric-powered medical devices, a power outage can be life-threatening, while others face the challenge of throwing away spoiled food and dealing with the inconvenience of being without electricity.

Fortunately, there are solutions emerging that can make the electric grid more reliable and provide backup power during outages. One innovative solution involves integrating electric vehicles (EVs) into home power systems and the grid itself. By giving EVs bidirectional charging capability, they can not only charge from the grid or local generation sources but also discharge electricity to power homes or other devices. This technology is starting to appear in some EV models, with policies like California’s S.B. 59 paving the way for more widespread adoption.

Personal experiences highlight the benefits of having an EV with bidirectional charging capability during power outages. In situations where fossil fuel generators are the norm, using a silent and non-polluting battery like an EV can provide a cleaner and more efficient backup power solution. While challenges exist, such as the need for easy V2H setup and access for apartment dwellers, the potential for EVs to serve as backup batteries on wheels is promising.

California’s Senate Bill 59 represents a significant step towards universal bidirectional charging capability for EVs. By mandating this feature in all new EVs, the state is paving the way for more drivers to access backup power options and support the electric grid. While there is still work to be done to ensure the rule benefits drivers and preserves warranty protections, the potential benefits of using EV batteries for more than just transportation are clear.

In conclusion, the integration of EVs with bidirectional charging capability into home power systems holds great promise for providing clean and reliable backup power during outages. With continued advancements in technology and supportive policies, EVs have the potential to play a crucial role in enhancing resilience and sustainability in the face of natural disasters.
