Since the infrastructure bill currently working its way through Congress includes funding for electric school buses, if $LEV or $BLBD snag any of that money, $NVVE is likely to get a slice of the pie. It recently announced partnerships with the Lion Electric Company ($LEV) and Blue Bird ($BLBD) to integrate Nuvve's V2G technology into some of their buses enabling a cluster of buses to form a "virtual power plant" that could reduce a school district's power bill. Its successes so far have been limited to small pilot projects, mostly in Europe. They are also in a market with growing competition but not many customers, which they admit in their most recent SEC filing. Unfortunately, Nuvve has never been profitable and does not expect to be profitable any time soon. It was one of only a handful of companies mentioned in a 2011 INL study. It is a recent deSPAC but has been around as a private company since 2010. Nuvve ( $NVVE) is a publicly traded V2G player. There are a number of companies working on V2G technology, but most of them are privately held. Many homes with solar panels already do something similar, but there are various issues preventing electric vehicles from doing the same. The idea is that electric vehicles connected to the grid can serve as storage devices for the grid's energy during low-use hours and then pump that energy back into the grid during high-use hours or when the grid is otherwise overtaxed. V2G (vehicle-to-grid aka bidirectional charging) is a proposed solution. A problem with the move toward electric vehicles is that they will tax already aging and overwhelmed electrical grids.
