Argonne is a U.S. Department of Energy science and engineering research center that – along its partners in industry, academia and government – tackles global challenges in energy, security, and a range of other areas. Among those areas is electric vehicles and their integration into society.
Argonne and Lion Electric – the largest producer of medium and heavy-duty electric vehicles (EVs) in North America – are collaborating to explore vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology.
The organizations aim to turn the company's electric trucks and buses into grid contributors for stability and renewable integration. V2G technology turns EVs into mini power plants, enabling their batteries to feed energy back into the grid. This helps balance demand on the grid and promotes renewable energy integration.
Argonne and Lion Electric recently conducted a successful V2G demonstration using the LionC all-electric school bus. The successful demonstration confirmed the LionC's seamless 48-kW, bi-directional charging capability. The demo also showcased LionC's potential to reduce reliance on fossil fuels by storing and feeding clean energy back into the grid.
