Here are some of the topics we covered:
V2G Vehicle to Grid

V1G smart charging

V2X Vehicle to Everything

V2B Vehicle to Building 

V2L Vehicle to Load

Behind the meter

Load management<

Power quality

VARs

CAISO

Independent System Operator

Grid vs. Utility is different

ISO is grid made up of different utilities

VPP

Duke and Ford F-150 Lightning

TEPCO

Fukushima brought on V2X

CHAdeMO protocol

Nissan Leaf bidirectional in 2013

Offboard DC charger

Software platform

Vehicle battery comes free with leather seats and air conditioning

EV battery warranty with V2X

AI software

Data science<

Grid facing market opportunities

Vehicle to grid services provider

Defining 100% state of charge (SOC)

Setting parameters of SOC to protect battery

LFP NCA NMC

4.2 volts per cell (VPC) at full charge

Child labor in the Congo and cobalt

Climate

Early adopters

Storage in EVs dwarfs stationary grid storage

Beacon power flywheels

University of Virginia vs. Virginia Tech

UL testing of bidirectional EV chargers

UL 1741 SB

UL 1741 SA

UL 1741

Siemens

CCS

North American Charging Standard = Tesla

<5A continuous = 10,000kWh/yr at 240V

Curtailing over $1B/yr of solar and wind in California

Discharge behind the meter to reduce demand charges

$200-$300 per month with 15kW EV to grid with Leaf

Much worse uptime in US

SGIP (Self Generation Incentive Program) subsidies in California should apply to EV to grid

Over 90% of EV charging happens at home

Interconnection agreement of inverter is probably going to be a stationary inverter and not a roaming onboard inverter

Weight of onboard inverter

Using big inverter that spins wheels to feed the grid

Raising capital and talking to oil companies

Panasonic

Chevron

Oil companies future is renewables and are important sources of capital
