'The grid does not currently have the capability to add millions of battery electric or even fuel-cell electric vehicles today,' one expert told CBSLA, but added that there is time to make the needed upgrades
Experts at the University of California Irvine have been conducting much of that research, learning what exactly will be needed to make all cars zero emissions in little more than a decade. "The grid does not currently have the capability to add millions of battery electric or even fuel-cell electric vehicles today," Jack Brouwer, a professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering at UCI.
UCI Professor Jack Brouwer shows CBSLA's Michele Gile a hydrogen powered electric vehicle that only emits water. "We have a long-term process in place to make sure we're making smart investments in the grid today, so we'll have the energy we need five to 10 years down the road," SoCal Edison Spokesperson Paul Griffo told CBSLA.
