Backup Power Capabilities

Pilot Status

The pilot is structured around three focus areas. Status updates for each focus area are provided below:

• Environmental and Social Impact Study: Foundational planning and study design are complete. The midpoint technical review has been completed, and the final report is in production. The goal and scope definition, life cycle inventory, life cycle impact assessment, and interpretation are all progressing concurrently to make up for time spent in early research phases. For more information about the environmental and health benefits of bidirectional charging, please see the following fact sheets:
  • Powering Possibilities
  • Beyond Emissions
  • Powering Communities
  • Bridging the Gap
• Market Analysis and Consumer Behavior Study: The market analysis has been completed. The team is developing insights into consumer behavior, technology perceptions, and adoption readiness through qualitative and quantitative research gathered via survey and focus groups, to be captured in the final report.
• Technical Study: The Techno-Economic Analysis of V2H/V2G Systems and evaluation of system hardware, reliability, and performance have been completed.  The cybersecurity assessment portion of the report continues, focusing on vulnerability identification, physical and network interface analysis, and threat modeling to map potential attack paths and strengthen system resilience. The final report is concurrently in development.
