Building a Flexible Grid: VGI, Policy, and the Path to Electrification

As the world transitions toward clean energy, Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) technology is unlocking exciting opportunities for electric vehicle (EV) owners and fleets. Imagine not only driving a more sustainable vehicle but also using it to save money, generate income, and support grid reliability. But how much can V2X actually earn you? That’s a complex question — one that Fermata Energy is helping you answer with our V2G Calculator.

Discover the Value of V2X with Fermata Energy’s Online Calculator

The fourth annual Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) Business, Policy & Technology Forum, held October 22-24, 2024, in Detroit, gathered industry leaders, innovators, and stakeholders at the American Center for Mobility.

Fermata Energy - Carbon Emissions Optimization and V2X Whitepaper.pdf

How bidirectional V2X electric vehicle charging can lead to net carbon savings.

Carbon Emissions Optimization and V2X: Whitepaper

The transition to a cleaner, more resilient electric grid is already well underway, with renewable energy sources like wind and solar making up an increasing share of our electricity mix. However, the variability of these energy sources — clouds passing over solar panels or a lull in wind generation — poses a challenge for maintaining a stable and reliable grid. 

Driving Grid Flexibility: Why Bidirectional EV Charging is Key

As electric vehicles (EVs) become an integral part of the renewable energy ecosystem, drivers and fleet managers have the opportunity to harness the power of Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) technology. With V2X, EVs are not just transportation tools — they are energy assets that can support the grid and generate financial value. Here's how EV owners can optimize their experience with Fermata Energy’s intelligent V2X platform and a compatible bidirectional charger, step by step.

Fermata Energy's role in DER integrations 

Bidirectional Charging Can Make EVs a Profit Center

Bidirectional charging allows consumers to discharge their EV batteries to provide back-up power for their homes during blackouts or earn money from their utility. EV batteries have much more capacity than many at-home energy storage units.

With real-time information on your building's electricity usage, Fermata Energy empowers facility managers to use EVs and bidirectional charging to meet electrification goals, while avoiding peak demand charges and saving money on the company’s electricity bill.

How Fermata Energy can help your organization

Fermata Energy platform can turn your EVs into a powerful revenue stream that can lower your electricity bill, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and fuel costs, by selling power back to the grid.

The nation’s leader in vehicle-to-building (V2B) systems, Fermata Energy empowers EV fleet owners and operators to leverage their fleet to save money on fleet operating costs, manage climate-related risk, and improve facility energy resilience and efficiency.
