The US Department of Energy (DOE) alongside other government and industry partners has announced a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) memorandum of understanding (MOU) which will bring together resources from DOE, DOE national labs, state and local governments, utilities and private entities to evaluate technical and economic feasibility of integrating bidirectional charging into energy infrastructure. The MOU will also advance cybersecurity as a core component of V2X charging infrastructure.
The DOE notes that the International Energy Agency (IEA) conservatively estimates that 130 million electric vehicles (EVs) will be on the road globally by 2030. As the number of EVs grows and especially as larger trucks and buses electrify with larger batteries, there will be opportunities to use those batteries to also support the grid. The US government asserts that bidirectional plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) present immense potential for increasing the USA’s energy security while supporting the electrical grid.
