NREL connects EVs and grid integration Engineers working at the Vehicle Testing and Integration Facility enjoy a stunning view of the Denver skyline. However, some days the view includes Denver's "brown cloud" -- air pollution caused in part by vehicle emissions. While disheartening, the brown cloud helps the engineers focus on future technologies that will drastically reduce -- and ultimately eliminate -- those emissions.
