(Nasdaq: NVVE), a global technology leader accelerating the electrification of transportation through its proprietary vehicle-to-grid (V2G) platform, celebrated the 500th electric school bus EVSE to be deployed which will be managed through its proprietary GIVe™ bidirectional, smart-charging software platform.\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \nThis new order from Orange Unified School District in Orange, California is for thirteen Nuvve Level 2 \"PowerPort\" chargers and three 60kW chargers. This follows the district's 2021 purchase of fifteen Nuvve Level 2 PowerPort chargers which it currently uses for its fleet of 15 electric school buses purchased over 2021 and 2022 from Blue Bird Corporation (Nasdaq: BLBD), the leader in electric and low-emission school buses.
