Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) services—in which electric vehicles can both charge from and send energy back to the grid—can provide valuable grid benefits. But before V2G can be implemented across the U.S., states have to navigate the evolving landscape of technical standards that govern the certification of V2G-enabled equipment and integrate these standards into their rules and technical documents.

● Introducing  V2G technologies and configurations

● Related technical and regulatory challenges

● Technical standards that govern V2G integration, including existing and upcoming standards and communication protocols that can make V2G a reality.
