MARCH 11, 2023

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. The need for large-scale electrochemical energy storage as a grid-stabilizing source of demand disappeared. After earning a Ph.D.
