A proposed California bill would require all new electric vehicles (EVs) sold in California after 2030 to be “bi-directional,” meaning they would not only contribute power to vehicles but would also provide energy to the grid and to households.
Senate Bill 233, authored by Sen. Nancy Skinner (D-Berkeley), was established, she said, in response to “relieve strain on the state’s electrical grid” and to help meet electricity demand amid California’s ambitious goal of being 100 percent carbon neutral by 2045.
