## Summary

Ty Jagerson, V2X lead at General Motors, discusses the potential for electric vehicles to stabilize the power grid through managed charging (V1G), vehicle-to-grid (V2G), and vehicle-to-home (V2H) technologies. He explains that while V1G is already being piloted with Chevrolet Bolt owners to manage load, V2G faces hurdles regarding battery degradation concerns and the need for bidirectional charging hardware. Jagerson argues that V2G is exponentially more valuable than V1G because it offers capacity resources even when the vehicle is charged, and predicts that high-renewable, volatile markets will drive early adoption. He also outlines GM's strategy to bundle V2H capabilities with the Silverado EV to provide home resilience, positioning the OEM as a central coordinator in a fragmented ecosystem of utilities, solar companies, and tech giants.
