States and Utilities Harness Vehicle-to-Grid Technology for Energy System Flexibility
Strategic implementation of bidirectional charging technologies is becoming crucial to stabilize the grid and tackle peak demand as transportation electrification expands.
Even as transportation electrification expands to medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, states across the U.S. are examining policies to harness the benefits of vehicle-to-grid functionality. The ability of electric vehicles (EVs) to inject…Read the full report
Key Takeaways
- Maryland has enacted legislation requiring electric utilities to expedite bidirectional electric vehicle charging system interconnections.
- Michigan regulators have expanded the scope of a workgroup to incorporate tariff proposals for vehicle-to-grid and energy storage for all regulated electric utilities.
- The U.S. Energy Department’s “SuperTruck: Charged” program will demonstrate how vehicle-grid integration enables depots and truck stops to provide affordable, reliable charging while increasing grid resiliency.
