Building Resiliency With V2G In Residential Homes

How can electric vehicles interact with buildings to become a reliant power source in power outages? We'll discuss this and more in this webinar. 

Due to the increasing number of disasters facing communities, improving power distribution system resiliency is a new challenge for energy professionals, utilities, and policymakers. One of the main methods to address this in the United States is modernizing the grid to meet the demands of the 21st century.

Vehicle to Grid (V2G) or Vehicle to Everything (V2X) offers storage capabilities, which enable electric vehicles to provide power back to the grid depending on weather and time of day. V2X utilizes stored energy in the battery to supply power to homes. V2G technology enables grid support by balancing and regulating the load. It also can significantly improve the viability of electric vehicles for consumers.

In this webinar, we’ll hear from our speakers on what is needed before residential V2G can become a reliable resource for grid operators, an accelerant for adoption, and a strong opportunity for smart grid solutions providers.
