Solar Valley Consortium Conference

Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G): Unlocking the Potential of California’s EV Batteries

November 17, 2026 | 8:30 AM–1:00 PM PT | Virtual

What if one of California’s next major grid resources is already sitting in our driveways?

As electric vehicle adoption grows, vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology presents an opportunity to transform EV batteries into distributed energy resources—storing electricity when supply is abundant and potentially returning power to the grid when demand is high.

Join the Solar Valley Consortium for a virtual conference examining what it will take to advance V2G in California. Leaders from government, utilities, industry, research, and advocacy will explore the technology, policy, regulatory frameworks, and real-world applications shaping vehicle-grid integration.

Topics will include:

  • EV and utility policy
  • Bidirectional charging technology
  • Virtual power plants and grid integration
  • California regulatory and legislative activity
  • Fleet and residential applications
  • Opportunities and barriers to V2G deployment
