Electric Vehicle Integration Into the Smart Grid of the Future. Hosted by UCLA-WINMEC, and UCLA Smart Grid Energy Research Center. Recent advances in information and communications systems and battery technologies, in combination with substantial importance given by society to reducing greenhouse gas/carbon emissions, have resulted in dramatic thrusts towards accelerated innovations in electric vehicles (EVs) and the smart and renewable energy infrastructure necessary to fuel and support them.This forum will bring together researchers, utilities (distribution and transmission), technology providers, service providers, EV and automotive companies, renewable generation companies, and government together to create Thought Leadership around the field of electric vehicles and their integration into the Smart Grid of the Future.
