June Monthly Zoom Meeting
2022-06-08 18:00 - 19:00 | Virtual EV Meeting
Join Us Wednesday, June 8,
@ 6 pm on Zoom
This month we have a guest speaker – Zane DeVitre-Shalauta, Graduate student – Climate Science and Policy EV Infrastructure
Zane is a graduate student in the Scripps Institute of Oceanography’s program in climate science and policy.

Transportation remains the largest source of carbon emissions in the state of California and decarbonizing that sector is going to be key to combating the climate crisis. Zane is currently planning to focus on this issue for his thesis project.

Zane is working on a project titled Leading the Charge: Ensuring the Future of EV Charging Infrastructure. Widespread EV adoption depends on reliable, equitable charging infrastructure. AB 1738 is a piece of legislation that aims to further this goal. This presentation will touch on the bill itself along with some proposed methods of making EV charging more affordable and accessible.

Hope to see you all there!

Meet the Solar Car Team at UC San Diego

The Solar Car Team at UCSD is committed to exploring the potential of solar energy, by building UCSD’s first ever Solar Car, to participate in national and international competitions. We hope to not only create long-lasting education to portray the power of solar energy, but also inspire both team members and peers to get involved in sustainable projects both at school and in their future careers, to come up with innovative solutions for the energy crisis.

Within these last few years, we have finalized the basic skeleton of our chassis, completed most of the composite work for our car’s body, and started developing the power system for the vehicle. Our next step is to complete the fabrication of the car components, and begin the assembly and integration of our car.

In this presentation, we would like to showcase the project, introduce members of the team, and share our progress and goals. We hope that you can join us!

August Monthly Zoom Meeting - Bidirectional EV + Solar + Home Batteries = THE FUTURE
2021-08-11 18:00 - 19:00 | Zoom – Virtual
Join Us Wednesday, August 11th, 6 pm on Zoom

Bidirectional EV + Solar + Home Batteries = THE FUTURE
Presented by Bill Powers, P.E., Principal, Powers Engineering

Electricity consumers in the San Diego area are now in a position to address power reliability concerns in the form of flex alerts, rolling blackouts, and wildfire safety power shutoffs with their own cost-effective on-grid/off-grid systems. These systems, consisting of an EV with a bidirectional charger, rooftop solar and home batteries, enable the consumer to operate independent of the grid indefinitely. The EV with bidirectional charger is the modern “back-up portable generator”. This autonomous configuration is simple and largely automatic, making it practical on a mass scale.
