The Mobility House

# Knowledge Center

We are happy to share our smart charging expertise! Our EV fleet charging and
 energy management content library contains materials to help you along your
 electrification journey, wherever you may be.

With the start of demand response season, there has never been a more critical
 time to understand how school bus batteries can serve as valuable energy
 assets. The Mobility House hosts a deep dive into the technical essentials of
 bidirectional charging, including the current landscape of hardware options
 and the technological lynchpins of open standards and interoperability. Learn
 how certifications and standards such as UL 1741-SB and ISO 15118-20 are
 shaping the future of the industry, ensuring that vehicle, charger and
 software combinations work together seamlessly to charge and discharge energy
 when it is needed most.&nbsp;


 Our discussion will feature a real-world case study from Northern California,
 where pioneering school bus fleets are already implementing vehicle-to-grid
 (V2G) and vehicle-to-building (V2B) infrastructure. Whether you are evaluating
 V2G for your fleet, or just curious about the exciting future of this
 promising technology, this webinar will provide the latest
 state-of-the-industry insights to maximize your fleet's grid-interactive
 potential.

 isn’t just about charging, it’s about redefining how fleet vehicles interact
 with the grid. That kind of transformation doesn’t happen without an ecosystem
 of companies working together to make it possible.&nbsp;


 The Mobility House is proud of the partner network we’ve built over 15+ years
 and even prouder to introduce you to the V2G innovators leading the charge.
 The experts you'll hear from in this tour are at the heart of designing,
 building, and deploying V2G solutions that turn vehicles into energy assets

ACT Expo 2026: V2G Ecosystem Tour

Bidirectional chargers enable electric school buses to behave like energy
 storage systems, providing a source of power in times of elevated energy
 prices or grid disruption.


 The bus can replace a diesel generator as a clean and silent form of backup
 power. Or, it can generate bill savings and revenue for the school district by
 sending power to the utility grid, referred to as Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G).
 Bidirectional chargers are capable of both charging and discharging, making
 them more costly than their unidirectional counterparts. This makes it
 essential for fleet and facilities operators to match the equipment to their
 use case and model value stream estimations before purchasing.


 The choice to opt for the additional functionality of bidirectional charging
 should be accompanied by a strategy to generate value. This value can fall
 into three categories: Backup Power, Bill Management, and Utility Program. In this guide, we cover:

<ul>
 <li>Why Bidirectional Charging?</li>
 <li>How to Evaluate Bidirectional Chargers</li>
 <li>Charger + EV Interoperability</li>
 <li>Generating Revenue with V2G</li>
