Electrification of transportation is central to achieving New York’s Climate Act goals, and two major barriers to electrifying transportation are potential capacity limitations for the existing grid to accommodate a diversity of EV types and charging patterns at scale and a lack of proven zero-emission technologies suitable for many medium- and heavy-duty and off-road vehicle segments. NYSERDA seeks to fund cutting-edge approaches to grid flexibility and zero-emission vehicles that support vehicle grid integration and address the lack of validation for advanced grid technologies; lackluster participation in managed charging programs; and hard-to-electrify vehicle types. A total of $12 million is available, with awards up to $3 million, to promote product development and demonstration solutions for projects within each focus area.
