EVWire brief: New York has awarded $3 million in the Vehicle Grid Integration Program, which focuses on the management of EV charging and the grid.
The Governor has also made available $4 million to advance technologies that overcome data collection, transmission and operational challenges faced by utilities to manage EV charging. The recipients of the $3M total include:
$775,000 to Voltpost, to develop lamppost EV charging in the New York City area, Capital Region, and Hudson Valley focusing on UL certification, retrofits, and plans to deploy at least ten additional Level 2 charging stations in New York State.
$867,000 to The Mobility House to show how utility distribution capacity can be maximized with flexible interconnections to support electric school bus charging at a depot in Staten Island and a second location yet to be determined in New York State to pilot a method for fast charger deployment that decouples charger construction from electric grid development timelines.
Nearly $1M to Weave Grid to control when EV managed charging will occur in the Orange and Rockland Utilities service area by using software and topology data to coordinate schedules and balance the energy load.
