Electric School Bus Grid Gaps (ESBGG) – Envisioned after a series of conversations with many like-minded smart people, this activity is an organic, crowd-sourced “process” to collect, validate and disseminate bold actionable policy guidance and strategies that unlock immediate value (we can do this today!), mid-term (we can do this within 12 months) and longer-term strategies that will require more than 18 months to implement.

California Public Utilities Commission – Sub-Metering / EV Rates / Infrastructure

Working with other stake holders, Green OnRamp is working with Investor Owned Utility Companies (IOUs) to help shape policy and technical requirements for Electric Vehicle infrastructure.  Sub-Meters isolate Electric Vehicle charging loads, enable granular policy (such as accurate administration of Low Carbon Fuel Standards – LCFS credits) and allow access to EV Fuel Rates and lower infrastructure costs.  Our contributions follow our expertise in Technology, Business and work to represent the ultimate stake holders – EV drivers and fleet owners to drive adoption. Initial Sub Meter Protocol Report was released on January 3rd, 2012.  Extensions have been granted to the original June 2012 deadline and the CPUC has outlined a open pilot project framework.
