I-GM ibheke ukusungula kabusha ukusetshenziswa kwezimoto zikagesi futhi zizisebenzise njengomthombo wamandla ezindlini.

I-GM izoqala ukusebenza ngokubambisana nenkampani yegesi kanye nogesi ukuze ihlole ukusetshenziswa kwezimoto zikagesi njengomthombo wamandla. Ngakho-ke, izimoto ze-GM zizonikeza amandla ezindlini zabanikazi.

I-Pacific Gas and Electric Company kanye ne-General Motors bamemezele ukusebenzisana okusha kokuhlola ukusetshenziswa kwezimoto zikagesi ze-GM njengemithombo yamandla edingeka kakhulu ezindlini ezisendaweni yesevisi ye-PG&E.

Izinzuzo Ezengeziwe Zamakhasimende E-GM

I-PG&E kanye ne-GM zizohlola izimoto ezinobuchwepheshe bokushaja bendlela-mbili obuthuthukile obungakwazi ukunikeza ngokuphephile izidingo eziyisisekelo zekhaya elifakwe kahle. Izimoto zikagesi zidlala indima ebalulekile ekuhlangabezaneni nomgomo wase-California wokunciphisa ukukhishwa kwesisi esibamba ukushisa futhi kakade seziletha izinzuzo eziningi kumakhasimende. Amandla wokushaja ohlangothi-mbili engeza inani elikhulu ngokuthuthukisa ukuqina nokuthembeka kukagesi.

“Sijabule kakhulu ngalokhu kubambisana okuyisizinda noGM. Cabanga ngekusasa lapho wonke umuntu eshayela khona imoto kagesi nalapho leyo moto esebenza ngogesi isebenza njengomthombo wamandla oyisipele wekhaya futhi, ngobubanzi, njengesisetshenziswa segridi. Lesi akusona nje igxathu elikhulu eliya phambili ekuthembekeni kukagesi kanye nokusimama kwesimo sezulu, kodwa kuphinde kube nenye inzuzo yezimoto zikagesi ezinamandla ahlanzekile ezibaluleke kakhulu emzabalazweni wethu wokulwa nokuguquguquka kwesimo sezulu,” kusho uPatty Poppe, oyisikhulu esiphezulu sePG&E Corporation.

Sula okuhlosiwe kwe-GM mayelana nokufakwa kukagesi

Ekupheleni kuka-2025, i-GM izoba nezimoto zikagesi ezingaphezu kwesigidi eNyakatho Melika ukuhlangabezana nesidingo esikhulayo. Iplathifomu yenkampani ye-Ultium, ehlanganisa i-EV Architecture kanye ne-powertrain, ivumela ama-EV ukuthi alinganisele nganoma iyiphi indlela yokuphila nanoma yiliphi iphuzu lentengo.

“Ukubambisana kweGM ne-PG&E kwandisa isu lethu lokufaka ugesi, okufakazela ukuthi izimoto zethu ezisebenza ngogesi ziyimithombo yamandla ahambayo ethembekile. Amathimba ethu asebenzela ukukala ngokushesha lo mklamo wokuhlola futhi alethe ubuchwepheshe bokushaja be-bi-directional kumakhasimende ethu,” kusho uMongameli weGM kanye ne-CEO uMary Barra.

Uzosebenza kanjani umshayeli wendiza?

I-PG&E kanye ne-GM ihlela ukuhlola imoto yokuqala esebenza ngogesi kanye neshaja ngokulethwa kwemoto kuya ekhaya ehlobo lika-2022. ikhokhiswa ekhaya lekhasimende, ixhuma ngokuzenzakalelayo phakathi kwemoto kagesi, ikhaya, nomthombo wamandla we-PG&E. Iphrojekthi yokuhlola izobandakanya izimoto eziningi zikagesi ze-GM.

Ngemva kokuhlolwa kwelebhu, i-PG&E kanye ne-GM ihlela ukuhlola uxhumo lwemoto nekhaya oluzovumela isethi encane yamakhaya amakhasimende ukuthi athole amandla ngokuphephile emotweni kagesi lapho amandla ephuma kugridi. Ngalokhu kuboniswa kwenkundla, i-PG&E kanye ne-GM bahlose ukuthuthukisa indlela elungele amakhasimende yokuletha ikhaya lemoto kulobu buchwepheshe obusha. Womabili amaqembu asebenza ngokushesha ekukhuphuleni umshayeli ukuze avule izivivinyo ezinkulu zamakhasimende ekupheleni kuka-2022.
