released the results of how one Nissan LEAF saves the City of Boulder $270/month in energy savings, by using the stored energy from the LEAF to power their rec center. That is equal to the monthly payment for the LEAF.
Vehicle-to-Building Project in Boulder, in Partnership with Fermata Energy, demonstrates that Electric Vehicle Fleets Can Lower Energy Costs for MunicipalitiesFermata Energy Boulder connected its all-electric 2020 Nissan LEAF fleet vehicle to Fermata Energy’s vehicle- to-everything system, which consists of its FE-15 bidirectional EV charger and proprietary energy management software platform. With the FE-15 connected to the recreation center’s electrical system, Fermata Energy’s software monitors the electrical load, looking for opportunities to reduce peak loads using energy from the EV battery as opposed to having it be supplied entirely by the grid.
“The results we achieved in Boulder offer compelling evidence of how a municipality can leverage an electric vehicle asset for both mobility and facility management,” said Fermata Energy founder and CEO David Slutzky.
