Description (excerpt):

Transportation electrification is happening now. Consumers’ preference for electric vehicles (EVs) is growing, the number of available EV models is increasing, and global enterprises have announced plans to go electric. Federal funding and private investments are supporting the transition. Questions about the transition have moved past “if,” and “when” has given way to “how.” This transition is occurring at the same time with other transformations at the grid edge where buildings, industry, renewables, and storage come together, leading to projections of faster load growth for the first time in more than a decade. Understanding the role of EVs in this coordinated transition is essential. A shared vision for vehicle grid integration (VGI) can help stakeholders chart the course forward to harness the value EVs offer.
