How does AC Propulsions technology integrate with the Grid?
AC Propulsion developed the first Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) capable electric vehicle in the world: the eBox. One of tzero™ technology’s most attractive and unique features is the integrated 20-kW bi-directional grid power interface. With bi-directional capability, many new applications are opened up for electric drive vehicles of all types, including distributed generation, selling grid ancillary services, automated battery diagnostic discharge testing, and using vehicles to provide uninterruptible backup power to homes or businesses. ACP offers the only drive system available with bi-directional charger that can produce grid-quality, 50 Hz or 60 Hz power from the vehicle battery, allowing technology within the vehicle to be used to operate equipment and keep a home or office powered. Additionally, AC Propulsion’s technology is the only solution that can allow for V2V charge transfer, allowing it to rescue an EV with a dead battery by giving a boost charge.
