Vehicle to Grid V2G for fleets and utilities in the real world

What if your electric fleet could generate revenue by sending power back into the grid when your utility hits a summer or winter peak? Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology is now moving into real-world deployment, unlocking new value streams for both fleets and utilities. But what does it actually take to make V2G work? And what benefits are emerging for fleet operators and the grid?
This webinar will walk through the full process, from technical infrastructure and utility interconnection to fleet operations and incentives for program participation. Panelists will highlight the groundbreaking project at Fremont Unified School District in California, where the district’s fleet of electric school buses are now equipped with bidirectional charging and actively participating in PG&E’s demand response programs.

Attendees gained a clear picture of:
The technical infrastructure required: chargers, software and utility integration
The role of infrastructure providers in making V2G deployment scalable and seamless
The operational process for managing charge/discharge while meeting route needs
The value of incentives and revenue potential for fleet participation, and how fleets can monetize idle vehicles without compromising service reliability
The value to utilities in integrating electric vehicles and how these programs work, leveraging EVs as distributed energy resources to avoid costly infrastructure upgrades.

Speakers:
Sébastien Fournier, President, Polara
Ernest M. Epley III, Director of Transportation, Fremont Unified School District
Sarah Woogen, VP of Product and Delivery, The Mobility House North America
Brad Beauchamp, EV Product Segment Leader, Blue Bird Corporation
Ilana Weitzman, VP of Strategic Development, Clean Transportation, Electric Autonomy (Moderator)
