Hello and welcome to another episode of the Fully Child Show podcast.

Really, this is a great one. I first heard about Vehicle to Grid.

You know, like eight, nine years ago, ten years ago.

And as soon as you hear about it, you go, what does that mean?

That means that when you're not driving your vehicle, your electric vehicle,

you can use it to do something else. The battery in it is,

That's all it is. And it's, okay, there's steering lights and windscreen wipers and seats.

Okay, it does quite a lot of other things, but basically it's a battery on wheels.

And then you go, well, what about if it was a battery on wheels that's quite a big battery on,

quite big wheels, like in not a car, not a delivery van, a bus?

What if you could use the energy that was stored in a bus to help back up the grid,

to help with a shave off the top of peak demand?

Would that be useful? And the answer is yes, it would.

And that's what we're talking about today. School buses in the United States of America

that are already plugged in to bidirectional charges.

That means the electricity can go both ways that can help manage a grid.

Really interesting stuff. Before we get into that just very briefly,

let's talk about another form of technology that can help shift the load and help run the grid

better. And if we all use technology like this, we would have a more efficient grid and we'd use

more power more efficiently and we'd relate waste less power. And I'm talking about a wonderful

company that are still, still the sponsors of the fully charged show podcast and are an amazing
