Connecting the Full V2G Chain: A Conversation with QualityLogic’s James Mater
August 18, 2026 James Mater, Co-Founder and Director of Strategy, Smart Energy, QualityLogic Vehicle-to-grid systems depend on much more than a compatible electric vehicle and bidirectional charger. To operate as reliable grid resources, vehicles, charging equipment, charge-management platforms, aggregators, and utility systems must communicate and perform together across a complex chain of technologies and standards.…
When Autonomous EVs Become Mobile Grid Assets
August 4, 2026 Two technology trends are beginning to reshape transportation and the electric power system. The first is the emergence of autonomous electric vehicles capable of transporting passengers and goods without a human driver. The second is bidirectional charging, which allows an EV to operate not only as an electrical load but also as…
The Role of Bidirectional Charging in the Energy Transition Part 2: Turning EVs Into a Dispatchable Resource
Part 2: Turning EVs Into a Dispatchable Resource June 23, 2026 In Part One of this two-part series, we argued that electric vehicles should be understood as more than transportation devices and more than flexible load. As bidirectional charging expands, EVs can become part of a broader storage ecosystem that supports the energy transition. The…
The Role of Bidirectional Charging in the Energy Transition Part 1: EVs as Part of the Storage Ecosystem
Part 1: EVs as Part of the Storage Ecosystem June 9, 2026 The energy transition is no longer a distant policy aspiration. It is now showing up in interconnection queues, utility load forecasts, customer adoption trends, and the daily operating realities of the electric grid. According to the latest Solar Market Insight report from SEIA…

Inside California’s VGI Strategy: A Conversation with Vincent Weyl
Vincent Weyl, California Energy Commission, Vehicle-Grid Integration Principal Electric vehicles are no longer just a transportation story. In California, they are increasingly being viewed as a flexible energy resource with the potential to reshape how the grid operates. But turning that potential into real world value is not straightforward. To better understand how this transition…
The Evolution of Residential Bidirectional Chargers: From Backup Power to Grid Services
April 14, 2026 The long term promise of vehicle-to-grid has always rested on scale. And nowhere is the scale larger than in the residential sector. Electric vehicles are parked at home for the majority of the day and, critically, often during the evening peak when electricity demand is highest. Increasingly, many drivers charge at work…
