Building on the success of previous editions, the Forum in April will offer a neutral venue in which different Vehicle-to-Grid stakeholders can come together to work on accelerating V2G standardization and adoption in North America.

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.

If V2G is important to the future of your organization, you are encouraged to take part in the April 2025 edition of the Forum.
