The concept behind V2G had gained traction in the late 1990s after California’s landmark zero-emission-vehicle (ZEV) mandate went into effect and compelled automakers to commercialize electric cars. At the turn of the 20th century, utilities promoted the use of electric truck fleets to soak up excess electricity.
