U.S. Department of Energy Releases Vision for the Beneficial Integration of Electric Vehicles into the Electricity Grid

EVGrid Assist Mark

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced The Future of Vehicle Grid Integration: Harnessing the Flexibility of EV Charging, as part of DOE’s EVGrid Assist initiative. Developed with broad stakeholder input, the document outlines a shared vision for vehicle grid integration (VGI), where electric vehicles (EVs) are safely and securely connected to, reliably served by, and harmonized with the electric grid. The document serves as guidepost, offering direction for stakeholders as they develop products, identify opportunities for standardization, and design new policies, rates, and services, among other activities.  

DOE plans to develop a VGI strategy that details federal efforts to support stakeholders’ momentum toward realizing the vision. In addition, DOE is continuing demonstrations of smart charge management, developing data and tools, providing technical assistance to build capacity, hosting stakeholder meetings to enhance peer-to-peer learnings, and continuing the ongoing webinar series to share information on critical topics.

Collaboration between the public and private sectors is essential to achieving this vision. Learn more about DOE’s VGI activities and sign-up for upcoming webinars and stakeholder meetings on the EVGrid Assist website.
