Gustavo Cezar wears two colorful hats as an engineer with SLAC’s GISMo lab. In addition to his work on the farm where his team installed smart fans, solar panels, batteries, electricity meters and weather sensors, his lab - GISMo for Grid Integration, Systems and Mobility - is currently modeling the ways in which the increasing number of EVs in California will affect the grid's total load, infrastructure and reliability.
