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.
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.
““As the electric vehicle industry evolves alongside aging grid infrastructure and complex utility regulation, VGIC’s policy advocacy has been critical to VGI industry progress. VGIC pairs technical know-how with policy expertise, supporting members on established issues like customer compensation frameworks, equipment rebates, and managed charging, as well as the more complex regulatory challenges emerging as the industry matures.” ”
Imagine a Future Where EVs Offer More Than Just Transportation Benefits
In a vehicle-grid integrated society…
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.
