The purpose of this report is to serve as an informative discussion document and to consider perspectives of some key stakeholders that affect commercialization of bi-directional electric vehicles (EVs), charging infrastructure, and other related technologies. In this report, we synthesized information from existing lab studies and a series of industry roundtables, panels, and webinars facilitated by the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Office of Technology Transitions, in collaboration with the DOE’s Vehicles Technology Office and Argonne National Laboratory, aimed at discussing these technologies. This synthesis identifies key issues and considerations that factor into stakeholder perspectives and the business cases for potential stakeholder adoption of bidirectional electric vehicles, charging infrastructure, and other related technologies. Plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) owners, building owners, and grid operators all have the potential to develop business cases for bidirectional PEVs and the associated charging infrastructure. Bidirectionality includes the transfer of electricity or associated grid services from a vehicle to a home, building, grid, or other infrastructure, and vice versa also known as V2X).
