Bowe: Vehicle-to-grid adoption will only happen at higher EV penetration rates
“And then when we ultimately get to higher penetrations, that's where I would think we would start really seeing the V to G from a grid perspective, which I see as different from a vehicle to home perspective.”
Bowe: Co-locating battery storage with EV chargers will increase significantly
“Probably we're going to need to co-locate storage with a lot of these chargers. We're seeing some companies that are doing storage you know, integrating a storage solution from another provider, and other companies that are providing a storage and charger prod…”
Charging Logistics Remains Top Reason Consumers Do Not Buy EVs
