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. Over time, however, the research focus in bidirectional EV applications shifted from the grid to homes and commercial buildings.
