The Affordability and Public Health Benefits of Bidirectional Electric School Buses Webinar
Jul 24
The Affordability and Public Health Benefits of Bidirectional Electric School Buses Webinar

Californians are facing soaring electricity bills and some of the most polluted air in the country. A massive rollout of bidirectional electric school buses across the state can help tackle both problems. Bidirectional electric vehicles, including school buses, can store energy in their batteries and feed it back to the grid when it’s needed most. Mass adoption of electric school  buses would reduce the need for expensive utility investments in grid infrastructure like additional power plants and transmission lines, which lead to rate hikes on our electricity bills.

Switching from polluting, diesel-powered school buses to bidirectional, electric ones also improves air quality. No tailpipe means no noxious fumes for school children to breathe. And the clean energy storage capacity of the batteries means relying less on diesel peaker plants and generators during peak hours.  

Join The Climate Center to learn why public investment in bidirectional electric school buses is crucial for energy affordability and public health. Also, learn what you can do to help make this vision a reality in California. 

This webinar is the second in a three-part series about the climate benefits of electric school buses. VGIC Executive Director Zach Woogen will be speaking on the webinar The Affordability and Public Health Benefits of Bidirectional Electric School Buses on Thursday, July 24, 2025 between 10:00AM - 11:30AM PT.

How Electric Vehicles Can Transform the Energy Landscape
How Electric Vehicles Can Transform the Energy Landscape

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 explored federal and state EV policies, highlighting new technologies that enable EVs to function as mobile batteries.
