The leading venue for V2G discussion and networking
in the U.S.

Now in its sixth iteration, the V2G Business, Policy & Technology Forum, October 21-23, 2025 in Detroit, brings together top industry players, working groups, utility professionals and others who are focused on the successful development and implementation of vehicle-to-grid in the United States.

Carefully curated by a distinguished Program Committee, the Forum offers a neutral, non-commercial venue in which different V2G stakeholders can come together to work on accelerating V2G standardization and adoption in North America.

The goal is to examine obstacles and challenges to effectively achieving the potential of V2G, and to identify appropriate solutions and implementation success strategies for grid operators and other stakeholders across market verticals.

If V2G is important to the future of your organization, you are encouraged to take part in the official Fall 2025 edition of the Forum.
