 Fermata Energy V2X Bidirectional Charger Allows Business Owners to Utilize Their Nissan LEAF to Help Reduce Energy Costs

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#EVSE--Fermata Energy, the leading provider of Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) services, today announced that its FE-15 bidirectional charger has been approved by Nissan as the first ever bidirectional charger for use with the Nissan LEAF in the U.S.



With Nissan’s approval the Fermata Energy FE-15 charger, along with its UL 9741 certification, has passed key requirements from Nissan, and has been verified to be compatible with the Nissan LEAF. According to Nissan, usage of the approved charger will also not impact the Nissan LEAF’s battery warranty.

Bidirectional charging technology means not only charging the Nissan LEAF, but also sending energy stored in the vehicle battery back to the building or the grid. Using Fermata Energy’s V2X platform, the Nissan LEAF is currently the only fully electric passenger vehicle in the U.S. market able to supply energy to the grid, allowing LEAF owners with the Fermata Energy FE-15 bidirectional charger to park their vehicle, plug it in, and save money with their local electric utility, as well as reduce the total cost of ownership of the vehicle.

“We applaud Nissan for their ongoing leadership in delivering new, meaningful technologies to EV owners. V2X bidirectional charging is an important innovation that enables Nissan LEAF owners to create additional value from the energy stored in the vehicle’s battery. That value helps reduce the total cost of ownership of their car, while supporting grid resilience,” said David Slutzky, CEO and founder of Fermata Energy. “At Fermata Energy, we were the first to receive the UL 9741 certification in the world and now the first to have Nissan’s approval on a bidirectional charger in the U.S.”

Ideal for companies with fleet vehicles, the Fermata Energy Demand Charge Management application, along with the FE-15 charger, continuously monitors a building's electrical loads, looking for opportunities to periodically draw on the Nissan LEAF's energy to provide power to the building during more expensive high-demand periods. In states with utility demand response programs, bidirectionally-enabled Nissan LEAF vehicles (MY2013 and later) are able to safely send energy stored in the battery to the grid during peak energy demand times, such as in summer months.

The Nissan-approved FE-15 bidirectional charger is available for commercial and government fleet owners.

Fermata Energy FE-15 bidirectional chargers are installed at multiple sites across the U.S. In Colorado as part of a vehicle-to-build (V2B) program, the Fermata Energy platform has lowered the electric bills at the Boulder North Recreation Center, saving the city on average $270/month, the approximate cost of leasing a Nissan LEAF in some markets.

In 2021, Fermata Energy raised $40 million, including a Series A round led by The Carlyle Group. Other investors included Verizon Ventures, Skyview Ventures, I Squared Capital and ClearSky.

Park it. Plug it. Profit.TM Fermata Energy’s proprietary vehicle-to-everything (V2X) software platform and bidirectional chargers turn EVs into mobile energy storage assets, making it possible for EVs owners to combat climate change, increase energy resilience, and reduce energy costs.

COLUMBUS, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Strive Asset Management (“Strive”) sent a shareholder letter to Chevron, Inc. today - marking the company’s first shareholder engagement letter on behalf of its clients.


Strive calls on Chevron to liberate itself from constraints imposed by its ESG-promoting "shareholders" and to focus exclusively on maximizing long run value for the company's ultimate owners.

The letter - addressed to Chevron’s Chairman & CEO, Michael Wirth - delivers a post-ESG mandate. An excerpt can be found below. The full letter can be viewed through the link here.

Dear Mr. Wirth,

Strive Asset Management recently became a shareholder of Chevron. We write to you and your board of directors on behalf of our clients to deliver what we term a “post-ESG” shareholder mandate.

We believe that Chevron has the potential to become one of the world’s most valuable companies, both in terms of market capitalization and impact on human flourishing. As recently as 2013, Chevron was among the top 10 most valuable public companies in the world by market capitalization. At the beginning of 2022, Chevron did not make the top 50 and is still outside the top 20, but we believe that can change: the growing supply-demand imbalance for energy around the world creates a unique opportunity for a great American oil company like Chevron to meet that need.

To seize this opportunity, Chevron must produce and distribute more fuel to customers around the world – proudly, publicly, and without apology. We are concerned that Chevron faces immense pressure from its large institutional “shareholders” including BlackRock, State Street, and Vanguard to adopt value-destroying limitations on its business that do not align with Chevron’s best interests...

LEMONT, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has awarded DOE’s Argonne National Laboratory and a team of academic and community leaders $25 million over five years to study climate change effects at local and regional levels. This new research will empower communities to identify solutions that address future effects of climate change.


Argonne and partners will establish an Urban Integrated Field Laboratory called Community Research on Climate and Urban Science (CROCUS) focusing on the Chicago region. CROCUS will use community input to identify specific areas of urban climate change to study, ensuring that research results directly benefit local residents. CROCUS researchers will also work with organizations and students to collect on-the-ground data and develop climate models.

Chicago is already experiencing disruption from climate change in the form of extreme weather, flooding, drought and heat waves. Unfortunately, the neighborhoods that are most at risk for climate-related disasters have historically been understudied and unable to access the resources or services they need. That’s why CROCUS has strong representation from local organizations to develop its research goals.

Researchers will measure environmental conditions; explore how trees, open spaces, buildings, expressways and Lake Michigan shape Chicago’s climate; and examine how the Chicago area influences climate regionally. The study will create highly detailed climate models to reveal the impact of climate change on individual neighborhoods. This ability to predict how climate will evolve at a much smaller scale—even down to street level—will help communities identify and vet solutions to make neighborhoods resilient against the effects of a changing climate.

Argonne is partnering with local, regional, and national colleges and universities who will recruit and train the next generation of climate and environmental researchers. To address the underrepresentation of people of color in this field of study, the CROCUS collaborative includes minority-serving institutions and historically black colleges and universities. The research team also includes community-based organizations on Chicago’s South and West Sides, ensuring researchers deliver information critical to neighborhoods.

“If we understand how climate and urban systems interact, we can address the challenge in a fair, equitable and sustainable way,” said Cristina Negri, director of Argonne’s Environmental Sciences Division and CROCUS lead. “By advancing the science, we can help neighborhoods, governments and communities envision a climate-ready future. We’re all in this together.”

CROCUS is funded by the Biological and Environmental Research program in the DOE’s Office of Science.
