One of the critical obstacles to realizing the potential of Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) applications is the standardization of the technology that enables efficient, low-cost, mass adoption of V2G business and technology. The current trajectory of EV communications in the U.S. is to focus on standardizing the charging infrastructure without adequate attention to its impact on the adoption of V2G. This presents a significant barrier to adopting V2G technology at scale.

This conversation reviews the current state of standardization of V2G technologies and highlights the technical issues that will need to be resolved to enable mass adoption of Vehicle to Grid (V2G) in the U.S.
