Thank you all for your patience. 00:45:01 Jill Aquino: Yes, I am in NJ!!!!! HOT the past 3 days!!!!!! 00:46:03 Jill Aquino: I spoke to Congress in September of 2021 as to why as a former school nurse I felt bold investments in electric school buses for our school aged children was an ABSOLUTE necessity!!!! 00:49:50 Stacey Meinzen: Anna Bella's bio: https://theclimatecenter.org/about/people/anna-bella-korbatov/ 01:00:52 Beverly DesChaux: What would be of even greater service for the Resilience Hub would be if the bi di charging station were located in such a way that the ESB could continue charging from the solar system when the grid is down. I suggested this to a Santa Cruz school district but they said PG&E was installing the bi di charging station somewhere away from the PV solar. 01:02:14 Stacey Meinzen: Take action for reliable, affordable electricity using CA’s EV fleet: https://theclimatecenter.org/community-energy-resilience/urge-governor-newsom-to-use-electric-vehicles-for-cheap-reliable-electricity/ 01:02:37 Aravinda Edussuriya: @Anna Bella, are we able to connect with you directly to learn more about your work? 01:07:32 James Mawien Manyuol Dau: @ Anna Bella, I would like to connect with you to learn more about your work. I am a master’s student of journalism at UC Berkeley, and I’m interested in stories related to climate and equity. Sharing my email: jdau@berkeley.edu 01:08:00 Pamela Martinez: Thank you for attending today’s webinar. Please use the Q&A feature for any questions you may have. 01:13:01 Beverly DesChaux: John Knox: Also for charging on a long distance field trip, ESBs have same charging cord as EVs so can use any public charging station. 01:15:16 Stacey Meinzen: Margarita's bio: https://theclimatecenter.org/about/people/margarita-parra/ 01:24:30 John Knox: Beverly, very few of the public charging stations I’ve seen would be able to accommodate a 40-foot school bus. Seems that specially designed stations would be needed. As Robert mentioned in Q&A, maybe the bus could go to another school charging facility near the destination. Wondering if the ESB charge port is the CCS combo? NACS? 01:27:49 Robert Stafford - WRI: @John we'd probably be looking for public charging focused on medium/heavy duty where ESBs could pull through, which is small but growing. The Connection for all ESBs now is CCS but there is some rumblings about J3400/NACS adoption 01:28:32 Cool the Earth: @David what funding is currently available for CA schools for buses and charging infrastructure? 01:30:22 Beverly DesChaux: John Knox: Good point. How often does your school district go on such long distance trips? what we have seen w all EV adoption consideration is that people ask about the longest possible distance that might happen only once. 01:31:24 Cool the Earth: Do any of you have a real-world story (or case study) of a V2G application of a school bus providing power to a community need in an emergency information? 01:31:26 Beverly DesChaux: Cool the Earth: CARB funding has currently been exhausted for ESBs for this funding cycle 01:33:24 Beverly DesChaux: John Knox: last I knew which was several years ago, minimum range for ESB was 150+ miles 01:33:44 David Wensil: Cool the Earth: For school bus funding, I would ecourage you to look at you local air district to see if they have any programs or funding available for ESBs. As Beverly DesChaux mentioned, unfortunately, ESB funding isn't available at the moment. As for infrastructure, LEAs can be eligible to apply for the Fast Track lane to receive funding for infrastructure. 01:34:56 Beverly DesChaux: David Wensil: local air districts typically get their funding from CARB 01:35:37 Robert Stafford - WRI: @Cool the Earth none for an acute emergency that we might think about (fire, earthquake, flood) as these are still being developed. ESB vehicle-to-grid though has been providing energy during emergency demand events though(usually heat waves). Anna Bella and Fermata have a lot of great examples.
