The Brattle analysis focuses primarily on light-duty vehicles; electrification of commercial fleets and freight trucks will further magnify electrification-related opportunities. They could feed up to 300 GW of power back into the grid to help integrate renewables once large-scale vehicle-to-grid (V2G) operations are viable.
