Ford is collaborating with BMW and Honda to launch ChargeScape, a vehicle-to-grid platform that aims to provide low-cost renewable energy to electric and hybrid vehicle owners in the US. This move comes as Ford seeks to compete with Chinese automakers who are leading in the race for affordable EVs.

The next step is Scope Two, which relates to the sticky task of collaborating with — or putting pressure on — stakeholders in the manufacturing supply chain to decarbonize their operations. Ford is addressing that partly through the First Movers Coalition, which aims to cut the carbon footprint of automotive aluminum and steel.
Nevertheless, the allure of inexpensive electricity rates could help more drivers make the switch to 100% electric drive. That means making more low-cost renewable energy available for more drivers. “EV drivers have the potential to be rewarded financially for their flexibility and always have their vehicle charged by the time they specify,” they add., and that is correct. A virtual power plant initially referred to the idea that utilities can reduce if not eliminate the need to build new gas peaker plants to meet demand spikes, if they can convince ratepayers to avoid using electricity during peak daytime demand hours.
