Electric school buses that power grid could save school districts millions
An interesting idea. But it all hinges on the utilities actually being
willing to PAY a fair price for the power they take. So

haven't been willing to do that. They get to set the price, and pay as
little as possible.
Also, depends
John, you said,Also, depends on what you mean by Fair price. Retail
isn't fair. Possible what they pay per KWH for peaking generation might be
ok
That makes no logical sense. IMHO selling a utility the power in your
battery at less than The utility will charge you to replace it and having
to buy

i understand the benefits and savings of using electric bus in stead of fossil
fuels one, but how is feeding the power grid beneficial?
are they using the battery storage

are they using the battery storage as a buffer for peak demand

V2G is not about draining the battery entirely to keep the grid from
collapsing, but more about short bursts of high power that help stabilize
the grid, comparable to the power needed to brake/accelerate again.
So
