8 predictions · 1 assertion · 2 insights · 2 disclosures · every statement was checked. The predictions and assertion are the 9 claims: statements the public record can support or contradict. 1 is resolved, and 8 name no date, number or outcome precise enough to check. Everything else (opinions, insights, what ifs, disclosures) can never be settled by the record, so it carries no assessment.

The record, in short

What the tape says about how Ty argues and how the claims held up. Everything they said, and everything said about them, is in the tabs below.

Their most notable supported claim

Prediction Held up
Yeagerson: Utility rates will soon tie directly to managed charging participation
“My guess is that what we're going to see before too long is utility programs or state subsidy programs where where you're charging capacity or you, your utility rates are going to be charged relative to your participation in these types of programs.”

How they sound: not measured why? →

We measure speaking style by listening to the audio itself, and a fair number needs at least 2,000 words from one person on tape we have measured. There is too little of Ty Yeagerson on measured tape to publish a rate. This says nothing about how they speak.

Prediction Not checkable as stated
Yeagerson: EV grid value derives from power capacity, not deep cycling
“The value of these batteries is going to be more in the power than in the energy, and it's going to be more in the capacity than in the KWH, right? So you're gonna have, the value is that these things are gonna be available and, you know, maybe sometimes used …”

Prediction Not checkable as stated
Yeagerson: Aggregated EV fleets will become highly dispatchable grid capacity resources
“If you have a million thermostats and you've done it 20 times, then actually it's more dispatchable than a discrete peaking resource. And I think you're gonna find that with vehicles as well. It's gonna be very fungible, it's gonna be very predictable, we're g…”

Prediction Held up
Yeagerson: Utility rates will soon tie directly to managed charging participation
“My guess is that what we're going to see before too long is utility programs or state subsidy programs where where you're charging capacity or you, your utility rates are going to be charged relative to your participation in these types of programs.”

Insight
Yeagerson: V2G capability is three to four times more valuable than V1G
“If you think about V one G value, it's only a negawatt capacity if the vehicle is not charged. And a lot of times what happens, people bring their vehicle someplace, they plug it in, and it's charged, and so you've got basically negawatt capacity for as long a…”
Ty Yeagerson Aug 31, 2023 ▶ 23:19 Can the V2X dream become reality?
Prediction Not checkable as stated
Yeagerson: Consumers will widely accept managed charging for modest cash compensation
“Eventually that the adoption rates for this stuff are going to be high just because I think it's going to be very widely accepted and everyone's going to know that they're going to get a little bit of trickle cash coming through these functions and people will…”
Ty Yeagerson Aug 31, 2023 ▶ 12:31 Can the V2X dream become reality?
Prediction Not checkable as stated
Yeagerson: Existing utility managed charging programs will transition directly to V2G
“We don't have any programs going with utilities for V to G mode, but I think the expectation in the industry is that what happens is these existing programs with utilities just roll right into V to G programs.”
Ty Yeagerson Aug 31, 2023 ▶ 25:48 Can the V2X dream become reality?
Insight
Yeagerson: In-vehicle telematics offer superior flexibility for managing EV charging
“I think our perspective is, is you get the most flexibility if you can control it on the car, because the car is going to go different places, and you could, you know, one point of connection gives you, V one G capabilities anywhere you go.”
Ty Yeagerson Aug 31, 2023 ▶ 28:05 Can the V2X dream become reality?
Assertion Not checkable as stated
Yeagerson: Strongest V2G demand pairs with on-site solar and home storage
“One of the things that we're seeing is that the places where there's a strongest interest for V to G, you're already going through a process where maybe you're adding some additional storage at the building and oftentimes being paired with solar, which really …”
Ty Yeagerson Aug 31, 2023 ▶ 28:50 Can the V2X dream become reality?
Prediction Not checkable as stated
Yeagerson: Consumers will rarely actually use vehicle-to-home backup power
“I think the number of times people use V to H is going to be low.”
Ty Yeagerson Aug 31, 2023 ▶ 30:44 Can the V2X dream become reality?
Prediction Not checkable as stated
Yeagerson: Consumers will refuse to manage separate apps for home energy devices
“I don't think that every home is going to have five or six home energy management apps. You're just not going to do it. You're not going to sell, you know, availability on your refrigerator's capacity to one utility and then have, you know, your CCA take the c…”

Disclosure
Yeagerson: GM has six utility-partnered managed charging programs currently active
“In the V-I-G category, we actually have a half dozen programs in place right now where we've partnered with utilities, and we're using these vehicles that are already in the field in customers' hands and we're helping them use the vehicles to manage the load o…”
Ty Yeagerson Aug 31, 2023 ▶ 9:10 Can the V2X dream become reality?
Prediction Not checkable as stated
Yeagerson: V2G adoption will concentrate in high-volatility, renewable-heavy markets
“High renewables and hence high volatility markets are going to be the places where you're going to see not just V one G, but V two G. And then you're also going to see spiky activity in states where they incentivize this ahead of other states.”
Ty Yeagerson Aug 31, 2023 ▶ 26:31 Can the V2X dream become reality?
Disclosure
Yeagerson: GM to bundle solar and storage with the electric Silverado
“And that is what we're going to be rolling out with the Silverado is you'll be able to pick up not just the storage, but all the additional charging infrastructure, but also solar through our SunPower partnership. And so you'll be able to get a full home ecosy…”
