The leading venue for V2G discussion and networking in the U.S.
Now in its seventh iteration, the V2G Business, Policy & Technology Forum: Spring, April 28-30, 2026 in Los Angeles, 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.
Carefully curated by a distinguished Program Committee, the Forum offers a neutral, non-commercial venue in which different V2G stakeholders can come together to work on accelerating V2G standardization and adoption in North America.
Host sponsored by Southern California Edison, 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.
