Stakeholder Perspectives on Value Proposition for V2G

One of the big issues with V2G is the business side: How does the vehicle owner get paid? What is the value of V2G for utilities, EV owners, fleet operators, EV charging network operators - and the grid as a whole? This session explores the potential value of V2G for various stakeholders across the value chain.

11:30 - 12:30 pm
Follow the $: Delving into the Value of the Top Business Models for V2G

This session will deep-dive into the key business models for residential V2G, workplace/public parking V2G, and fleets + heavy-duty trucks and buses V2G. Current utility trials in New York, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Nevada will be examined with an eye toward key lessons learned to date. The goal here is to identify a pathway to profitability for V2G and how key industry entities can work today to make that a reality.

Lunch Break

1:30 - 3:00 pm
What Are the Technical Challenges with V2G?

This session focuses on the technical aspects and implications of V2G from both a utility and EV industry perspective. What does it mean for electric grids, and what key considerations must be kept in mind? Issues to be discussed include IEEE 1547/UL 1741 grid-support requirements in an ISO 15118 charging infrastructure, the V2G standards, etc.



















3:00 - 3:30 pm
Networking Coffee Break

3:30 - 4:30 pm
Other Challenges to V2G Success -- How do we address them?

Obstacles include business, policy and technical aspects of V2G. For instance, there are competing standardization activities going on for V2G. ISO 15118, IEEE 1547 and J3072 adequately do their job, but they are not harmonized. This session brings together the perspectives of EV manufacturers, utilities, and other industry stakeholders to hash out the key challenges for V2G success, and how best to overcome them.















4:30 - 5:45 pm
Facilitated Breakout Sessions, Round 1: Identifying and Ranking Challenges

Focused discussion sessions among attendee subgroups zeroing in on the 1) Technical, 2) Business, and 3) Policy & Regulatory critical challenges we need to address in order to move forward with V2G. The goal is to interact as a group in facilitated breakout table discussions and reach consensus on what the main challenges are, in rank order. Facilitators are:

Working Group Session: Tech Advisory Board for the SCE V2G Demonstration Project

The V2G TAB - Tech Advisory Board for the SCE V2G demonstration project - is a forum for reporting out on the SCE project (technical focus on V2G interconnection and integration with grid management systems) as well as receiving/sharing information from and with others working or involved with V2G technical efforts. We take a practical approach to identifying and working through technical issues related to V2G. At this particular session, we will focus on technical pathways to resolve ISO 15118 communication gaps with regards to V2G and also discuss V2G and VGI principles around prioritization. All are welcome to join!
