🚘🔋 As the demand for electric vehicles grows, the need for smarter charging and grid integration becomes critical. OVIN’s R&D Partnership Fund – Advanced Charging and V2G Program is addressing this demand by supporting Ontario businesses in developing the infrastructure and technologies necessary for the future of electrification. This program fuels innovation in areas such as vehicle-to-grid (V2G) systems, enabling electric vehicles to communicate with the power grid—allowing them to not only charge, but also return energy when needed.
