How Electric Vehicles Can Transform the Energy Landscape Webinar

How Electric Vehicles Can Transform the Energy Landscape Webinar

Electric vehicles (EVs) have enormous potential to help us address multiple problems at once. They can significantly lower energy costs for consumers, reduce harmful air pollution, and contribute to a more resilient electricity system by storing energy in their batteries for use during extreme weather events. Current technology allows an electric car battery to power a home for up to three days. These mobile energy sources can also be moved where they’re needed most during power outages, like backing up medical centers, fire stations, and food stores.

This webinar will explore federal and state EV policies and highlight new technologies that enable EVs to function as mobile batteries.

VGIC Interim Executive Director Zach Woogen will be speaking at Climate Center & World Resources Institute’s virtual webinar on Zoom.
