ACT Expo 2026: V2G Ecosystem Tour

Vehicle to Grid (V2G) 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. 

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 and revenue streams. 

This curated tour delivers briefings from EVSE providers, energy utilities, installers, and vehicle manufacturers who are at the forefront of V2X innovation.
