V2G Value Series: Thinking Beyond the Grid

This is the first in a series of articles exploring the full value of vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology. While grid services have received much of the spotlight, this series begins by zooming out to highlight the often-overlooked benefits of V2G for EV owners—lower costs and greater resilience. In our next installment, we’ll take a deeper dive…

Scaling V2G: Lessons from Distributed Solar

Much of my early academic and consulting career focused on the growth of the distributed solar industry. My dissertation at the University of Delaware, supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, explored the economic value of distributed solar generation. I later co-authored several pioneering studies using satellite-derived solar resource data to demonstrate that solar energy…

🚗⚡ Want to Use V2G or V2H? Good Luck Figuring Out What Works

Consumers interested in Vehicle-to-Home (V2H) or Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technologies face a frustrating challenge: there’s no clear, centralized resource that explains which EVs and bidirectional chargers are compatible and for what use case. For residential V2H, consumers are currently limited to proprietary, vehicle-specific solutions. A prime example is the Ford F-150 Lightning, which requires pairing the…

AI Meets V2X: An Opportunity to Transform the Grid

What if millions of electric vehicles (EVs), solar panels, and batteries could autonomously optimize energy flows—delivering unprecedented levels of grid stability, relieving congestion, avoiding costly infrastructure upgrades, and saving consumers billions? With AI-driven orchestration of distributed energy resources (DERs) and Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) technology, this isn't hypothetical. The potential is real and rapidly emerging—and it's the…

Cheaper, Faster, and Better: Why Advanced Energy Technologies Are Unstoppable

The energy landscape is shifting rapidly, and the momentum toward advanced energy technologies—solar, wind, storage, and electric vehicles (EVs)—is undeniable. In fact, renewable energy accounted for over 85% of U.S. new electricity capacity added in 2023.[1] In addition, automakers sold 1.3 million EVs in 2024—8 percent of all U.S. new vehicle purchases.[2] The reasons are…
