The MOU will Integrate Bidirectional EV Charging into Energy Infrastructure.
April 21, 2022The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and partners today announced the Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), which will bring together cutting-edge resources from DOE, National Labs, state and local governments, utilities, and private entities to evaluate technical and economic feasibility as we integrate bidirectional charging into energy infrastructure. The MOU will also advance cybersecurity as a core component of V2X charging infrastructure.
“The MOU signed today represents a collaborative approach to researching and developing novel technologies that will help unify the clean energy and transportation sectors while getting more American consumers into electric vehicles,” said Deputy Secretary of Energy Dave Turk. “Integrating charging technology that powers vehicles and simultaneously pushes energy back into the electrical grid is a win-win for the future of clean transportation and our energy resilience overall.”
