Actionable Benefits
- Identify the impact that Electric Vehicles (EVs) will have on energy consumption.
- Understand the ideal solutions and strategies to manage grid capacity, optimize EV charging, and support the transition from Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicles to EVs.
- Identify the minimal requirements of smart charging tools and better build products and services to enable or support them.
- Assess the market opportunity for bidirectional charging (Vehicle-to-Load (V2L), Vehicle-to-Home (V2H), Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G)).
Research Highlights
- Detailed assessment of smart charging tools, including demand response and the use of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs), and their viability based on their contribution to the electric grid, feasibility, and market opportunity.
- Comprehensive assessment of Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) bidirectional charging (V2L, V2H, V2G) and the go-to-market strategy.
- Assessment of additional mechanisms to alleviate the impact of EVs on the electric grid, including batter-buffered chargers, battery swap, and local energy storage.
