“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 ecosystem with the vehicle.”

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 …”
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…”
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.”
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…”
