The Mobility House Energizes V2G Charging System for Fremont Unified School District’s Electric School Bus Fleet - CleanTechnica

The Fremont Unified School District (FUSD) has successfully implemented a vehicle-to-grid (V2G) charging system for its electric school bus fleet, marking the first phase of a project supported by The Mobility House and partners including the World Resources Institute and Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E). This system uses six bidirectional chargers managed by The Mobility House’s ChargePilot® platform, which optimizes charging schedules and enables the buses to discharge energy back to the grid during PG&E’s Emergency Load Reduction Program (ELRP). This approach not only supports grid resilience during peak demand events but also helps the district reduce charging costs and improve operational efficiency. The V2G technology leverages the large batteries and predictable schedules of electric school buses to provide clean, reliable energy to the community while maintaining vehicle readiness for daily routes. The project, funded by the California Energy Commission’s Clean Transportation Program, exemplifies innovation in clean energy and electrified transportation. The Mobility House continues to expand its V2G and vehicle-grid
