More EVs, Fewer Emissions: Substantial Emissions Reductions Possible with Smart EV Charging, Finds a new report from RMI
lays out strategies to maximize emissions reductions through optimized EV charging and provides clear recommendations for the transportation and power sectors.
EV owners have an opportunity to reduce emissions associated with charging, reduce electricity costs, and support a faster transition to renewable energy. The report details how this can be achieved by using a real-time emissions signal — built-in software intelligence that leverages current grid emissions data — to control EV charging and shift electricity use to moments of cleaner power on the grid.
WattTime leveraged its real-time marginal emissions data to lead the analysis for the report. The organization’s 2019 report, How Emissions-Optimized EV Charging Enables Cleaner Electric Vehicles, first established how emissions-optimized charging can be leveraged to slash grid emissions, and found that emissions savings could be captured even on the dirtiest grids in the country.
