V2G: Harnessing EVs as a Grid Resource for Reliability and Resiliency

As electric vehicles evolve into active energy assets, Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) integration is redefining the relationship between mobility and the power system. By enabling bidirectional energy flow, V2G unlocks new opportunities for grid stability, renewable integration, and community resiliency. Yet realizing that potential requires cross-sector alignment—from automakers and utilities to technology providers, policymakers, and standards bodies.

This forward-looking discussion brings together leaders from Kia, Heliox (A Siemens Business), Keysight Technologies, and the Vehicle-Grid Integration Council (VGIC) to explore how collaboration, interoperability, and supportive regulation are shaping the future of V2G. Panelists will discuss lessons learned from early pilots, evolving standards like ISO 15118-20, and the policy and infrastructure strategies needed to scale V2G from concept to commercial reality.

Key Takeaways:

How V2G technology supports grid reliability, renewable integration, and energy flexibility
Lessons from early deployments and pilots shaping V2G best practices
The importance of interoperability, testing, and communication standards for broad adoption
Collaborative frameworks uniting automakers, utilities, and regulators in advancing V2G readiness
