Nuvve Launches First Vehicle-to-Grid School Bus Charging Installation in New Mexico
E-mobility infrastructure provider Nuvve Holding has announced the commissioning of 5 (vehicle to grid) V2G-capable DC fast chargers and 7 Nuvve Level II PowerPorts in New Mexico in collaboration with Las Cruces Public Schools.
Las Cruces Public Schools has involved Nuvve for the deployment to support the school district's transition to electric school buses and other electric vehicles. Las Cruces is the second largest school district in New Mexico, with more than 25,000 students.
Nuvve will serve as the energy manager and flexibility aggregator for Las Cruces Public Schools' electric vehicle infrastructure. The project calls for installation of five DC fast chargers and seven Nuvve Level II PowerPorts, providing robust and efficient charging solutions for the school district's electric buses and other EVs.

Other parts of the collaboration include:
- Energy management: Utilizing Nuvve's GIVe platform, known for its bidirectional energy management capabilities, to transform the school district's electric vehicles into grid-integrated energy storage resources.
- Benefits: Optimizing energy usage, reducing costs, and supporting the integration of renewable energy sources such as solar and wind.
The developers hope that completion of the project will result in broader operation of electric vehicle infrastructure in educational institutions across the nation.
