Get an Up Close Look at the Interplay of EV
Technology and Grid Innovation
Rapid advances in EVs and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technologies are a promising pathway to help balance the grid and increase the capacity for renewable energy. Those benefits require a great deal of collaboration among the technology providers, car manufactures, utilities, charging network operators and regulators. Grid Forward will bring together expert stakeholders to provide a snapshot of where the integration of EVs and the grid can provide value and how we can all move together to that vision.
