Unlocking the Value
of Flexible Charging and Vehicle-to-everything (V2X)
America's most complex and relied-upon electric grid is in transition towards a decarbonized future, balancing new sources of clean energy with increasing dependence on the grid to electrify buildings, transportation, and more. The millions of electric vehicles (EVs) around the country have untapped potential as a key, flexible resource to support the changing grid and save — or even earn — money by doing so.
VGIC is not just making a transformational change in the power sector, but also in the transportation industry.
Join Us to Build the Market for Vehicle-Grid Integration
VGIC is accelerating the decarbonization of transportation and the grid through state-level regulatory and policy advocacy, education, and market development. Our members include automakers, electric vehicle service providers, technology providers, and others. The VGIC staff brings deep techno-regulatory experience, a collaborative approach with policymakers across the nation, and expertise in effective stakeholder engagement and market development.
““The VGIC team’s expertise and the excellent work they do to track regulatory affairs and policy developments affecting VGI and V2X in California and nationwide have been invaluable to Fermata Energy. We’re consistently impressed by the breadth and depth of the VGIC team’s work, their attention to detail, and their member-focused approach. The ability to meet and work with other industry stakeholders on key VGI issues is another great benefit of membership in VGIC. We’re delighted to see VGIC grow and continue to be a strong voice for the VGI industry.””
““In the work of electrification of transport, it is vital to have shared standards and a fiscal regime that monetizes EVs as energy storage assets, in this regard, VGIC is central to accelerating this important evolution of the energy market.””
““We really appreciate the VGIC team and the effort put into advocacy and reporting back to member companies. We receive a lot of value from being members of VGIC and appreciate the team’s efforts on behalf of our industry.” ”
Our members are leading the vehicle-grid integration (VGI) revolution.
In addition to policy and regulatory advocacy, VGIC membership provides opportunities for business development and education alongside leading experts and organizations from the electric and transportation sectors.
Imagine a Future Where EVs Offer More Than Just Transportation Benefits
In a vehicle-grid integrated society…
phase-image-changer
Many technologies and capabilities for a VGI-enabled society are already available today, but their adoption and affordability are limited by key regulatory barriers. That's where the crucial work of VGIC comes in.
VGIC is Working State-By-State to Unlock the Benefits of VGI Today
Electric utility rates, EV programs and incentives, and rules for achieving interconnection to the grid to provide services are regulated and differ from state to state. VGIC advocates for our members in key policy forums around the country, including public utility commissions, to build the market.
