About this event
The electric vehicle (EV) industry has long promised a future where vehicles not only consume energy but support the grid. That future has arrived. This webinar will deconstruct the significance of the recent collaboration between Hubject, Heliox, Accelera by Cummins, and Blue Bird, which achieved the first commercial deployment of an ISO 15118-20 compliant V2G solution.
Unlike previous pilots, this deployment proves that secure, bi-directional charging is commercially viable today. We will move beyond the "why" of V2G and focus on the "how"—specifically how the ISO 15118-20 standard enables interoperability, security, and revenue generation for fleet operators.
What We'll Cover:
✅ For Fleet Operators: How to transform idle vehicles into revenue streams through grid services and peak shaving
✅ For CPOs: Infrastructure requirements and business models for offering V2G services to commercial fleets
✅ For Utilities: Managing distributed energy resources through standardized, secure bi-directional charging
✅ ISO 15118-20 Explained: How the standard enables interoperability and prevents vendor lock-in while ensuring grid security
From Cost Center to Revenue Generator
We'll walk through how school buses with predictable schedules and long dwell times are ideal V2G candidates, the certification process that ensures reliable interoperability, and the practical steps for implementing V2G in your operations today.
This is your opportunity to understand how ISO 15118-20 turns commercial fleets into grid assets that generate revenue while supporting energy resilience.
