Vehicle To Grid (V2G):

Vehicle To Grid (V2G):

Technology, Standards,

Policy, and Interoperability

The global energy transition is accelerating, and it depends on seamless interoperability across electric utilities, transportation, and smart energy systems.

EVs are becoming a critical distributed energy resource.

The ability to use EV batteries for grid support services represents a transformative opportunity to improve reliability, efficiency, and carbon outcomes across two of the world’s largest industries.

But unlocking V2G value is far from simple.

By 2035, EV battery capacity in the U.S. alone could equal peak electricity grid demand. Turning that capacity into usable, dispatchable grid value requires far more than bidirectional power flow.  

V2G sits at the intersection of ever-evolving technology, standards, policy, and business models.

Unlike other distributed energy resources, V2G must align utilities, automakers, charging infrastructure, regulators, and standards bodies to scale successfully.

This makes V2G the most complex DER integration challenge the power grid has ever faced.

Moving beyond pilots requires clarity on standards and deployment architectures (AC vs. DC), interoperability , regulatory drivers, and market readiness.

This live webinar explores what it really takes to scale V2G from vision to implementation.

Join QualityLogic’s industry leaders for a practical discussion on the technologies, standards, policies, and business considerations shaping the future of global V2G.

In this session, you’ll gain insight into:

• Where scaled V2G could deliver near-term and long-term grid value
• How V2G-AC and V2G-DC approaches differ in readiness and use cases
• Why interoperability is the gating factor for scale
• What utilities, EV manufacturers, and policymakers must align on next

Live Webinar

Vehicle To Grid (V2G):

What You Need To Know In 2026

February 11, 2026, 8:00 a.m. – 9:00 a.m. (Pacific ST)

*11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. Eastern ST | 5:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m. Central European Time

On Wednesday, February 11, we’ll discuss the why and what of V2G, including business and policy drivers and the new standards and technologies required to scale V2G in both the US and EU.  This will be a live webinar with a question-answer session at the end.

Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to align transportation electrification with grid modernization. But realizing its value requires more than technology—it demands coordination across standards, policy, utilities, OEMs, and solution providers.

This webinar is designed for stakeholders who need clarity, realism, and actionable insight on what you need to know and what to expect from V2G in 2026 and beyond.
