/ About this event

There's more energy sitting in California's EVs than in every grid battery in the state combined – it's just not plugged in yet.

As AI and data centers strain the grid faster than we can build new power, V2X — vehicle-to-everything charging — is the unlock hiding in plain sight.

Panel - Electrum: Kyle Cherrick, VP of Business Development (moderator) - Kia: Alex Pawlowski, Regulatory Strategy Manager - GM Energy: Felicia Lee, Utility Activation Manager - LADWP: Samer Fakhro, Power Engineering Manager of Distributed Energy Resources
