Vehicle Grid Integration Assessment Report

Vehicle Grid Integration (VGI) is critical to the electrification of the transportation sector and the modernization of the electric grid. While the cross-sectoral challenges to VGI are sizeable, they can be overcome. The Department of Energy (DOE) is prepared to conduct the research, development, demonstration, and deployment needed to establish U.S. leadership in VGI, create good paying U.S. jobs, and contribute to combating climate change. Through the VGI Assessment Study DOE details a 10-year roadmap for DOE’s VGI work. Within this workplan, DOE will conduct research on specific aspects of VGI covering impacts on EVs and the grid, grid services, codes and standards, and cybersecurity for this report. This roadmap was developed as the result of work performed and conducted across the DOE complex, consultations with National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), review of reports and studies by non-DOE researchers and VGI stakeholders, and input received directly from stakeholders.
