Final Report on Utility-Integrated V2G Fleet Deployment

This final report summarizes the outcomes, findings, and lessons learned from an 18-month Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) Field Demonstration Project delivered by Fuse Power Management on behalf of Foresight Canada (“Foresight”). Technical and implementation support was provided by Asset Market, Norda Stelo, Tecium, Electrum Charging Solutions, McKinley Electric, and the British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT). The project was designed to advance BC Hydro’s exploration of bidirectional demand response and to measure real-world energy export from fleet electric vehicles to the electricity grid through an operational field deployment. 

Vehicle Grid Integration (VGI) is emerging as a foundational component of modern electricity systems. As transportation electrification accelerates, unmanaged charging risks add material peak demand and distribution congestion. Larger vehicles represent a larger load on the power distribution system; however, once charged, they also represent substantial energy storage potential. 

Electric vehicle (EV) batteries represent a rapidly growing distributed storage resource that sits idle for large portions of the day. V2G transforms that storage into dispatchable flexibility, enabling peak shaving, renewable integration, resilience services, and the deferral of traditional grid infrastructure investments. Rather than functioning solely as electrical loads, EV fleets become mobile distributed energy resources capable of supporting both bulk system operations and local grid reliability. 

This project moved beyond concept validation toward a replicable, utility-integrated deployment model.
