Addressing Challenges, Achieving the Potential of V2G

October 22-24, 2024 - Detroit, MI, United States

The 4th edition of the V2G Business, Policy & Technology Forum, October 22-24, 2024 in Detroit brings together top industry players, working groups, utility professionals and others who are focused on the successful development and implementation of vehicle-to-grid in the United States.

Building on the success of previous editions, the Forum offers a neutral venue in which different V2G stakeholders can come together to work on accelerating V2G standardization and adoption in North America.

The goal is to examine obstacles and challenges to effectively achieving the potential of V2G, and to identify appropriate solutions and implementation success strategies for grid operators and other stakeholders across market verticals.

The Fall 2024 edition will take a special look at the state of enabling technologies for V2G, including standards progress, interoperability issues, residential and fleet charging, integration with V1G infrastructure, and more. In addition to in-depth presentations and panel sessions, the Forum will include breakout roundtable discussion in which attendees can interact in small groups to examine key topics.
