In this edition of V2G News, residential V2G pioneer Frances Bell of Bidirectional Energy provides a grounded view of where residential bidirectional charging stands today. The technology works. Deployments are happening. The real challenge now is execution—getting systems installed efficiently and delivering a seamless pathway to unlock V2G value at scale. We also break down…
Volume 2 | Issue 6
This issue opens with the second installment of our 2026 V2G Policy Series, examining why predictable, bankable revenue streams remain one of the biggest missing pieces for moving from demonstration projects to durable market offerings. We also look at another critical dimension of the transition: consumer behavior. A new academic study reviewed in this issue…
Volume 2 | Issue 5
This edition of V2G News moves the conversation from theory to deployment. Our third Industry Leader Interview features Kevin Matthews, Head of Electrification at First Student, one of North America’s leading student transportation providers, sharing practical insight on scaling electric school buses and the real-world pathway to vehicle-to-grid integration. We also publish our second State…
Volume 2 | Issue 4
In this edition of V2G News, we examine what we now know about V2G's impact on battery health and degradation risk, unpack a major Berkeley-led study that quantifies where V2G value truly comes from, and what can erase it, and track a series of OEM and utility announcements signaling real commercial momentum. From Tesla’s AC-based…
Volume 2 | Issue 3
This edition of V2G News continues our focus on how bidirectional charging is moving from pilots toward real markets. We’re pleased to feature our second industry leader interview, this time with Russell Vare of The Mobility House, who brings decades of experience in EV–grid integration and shares a clear-eyed perspective on what it will take…
Volume 2 | Issue 2
This issue launches our 2026 Policy Series by exploring a critical question: Will bidirectional EVs remain behind the meter, or will they be allowed to utilize their full capability and export power beyond the meter, operating as dynamic grid resources? We also take a close look at a new industry white paper, what it gets…
Volume 2 | Issue 1
Welcome to 2026! This first edition of V2G News for the new year focuses on two essentials as bidirectional charging moves from pilots toward early commercialization: how charging and discharging data is accessed, and what real-world evidence tells us about V2G value. Our first feature explores the digital backbone of V2G, where data lives across…
Volume 1 | Issue 11
Welcome to the final edition of V2G News for 2025! 🎉 ✨ 🥂 It’s been an extraordinary year for bidirectional charging, one where V2G shifted from the edges of the conversation to a central pillar of how we think about grid reliability, customer value, and the future of electrification. In this issue, I’m stepping out…
Volume 1 | Issue 10
This edition features two deep dives: an exclusive interview with Ford’s Dave McCreadie on how one of the largest automakers is approaching V2G, and our assessment of DOE’s Vehicle-Grid Integration report released earlier this year, what it contributes, where it remains cautious, and why meaningful federal coordination on V2G is still largely aspirational rather than…
Volume 1 | Issue 9
This edition features the third installment of our V2G Value Series, where we examine why V2G’s clear societal benefits still aren’t reflected in project revenues, a classic missing-money problem slowing commercial adoption. Paired with this is new academic research showing that V2G doesn’t just help integrate renewables; it can drive new wind and solar investment…
Volume 1 | Issue 8
In this issue, Steve shares his key takeaways fresh from the October 2025 V2G Forum in Detroit, where more than 200 industry leaders, from utilities to automakers, made clear that the conversation has shifted from if to how V2G will scale. We also unpack SEPA’s new interconnection roadmap, a practical guide for regulators and utilities…
Volume 1 | Issue 7
In this edition of V2G News, we tackle the big roadblock: interoperability. Until EVs, chargers, and grid systems can speak the same language, scaling will remain slow and fragmented. Our feature breaks down what true interoperability looks like and how industry leaders are closing the gaps. We also spotlight a new academic study (Electric Vehicles…
