page 38 • Future improvements in data, VGI analysis, and battery technology will be key factors in scaling VGI participation and expanding benefits to the energy system and individuals. • Implications for ramping up VGI deployment: • Improvements in data quality and refinements to the analytical approach will be crucial for the long-term deployment of VGI, including developing programs and processes needed for VGI to realize system-level benefits. • The full range of benefits of VGI will be a key determinant of adoption, particularly direct customer benefits, which were not considered in this analysis. • Advances in battery technology for light-duty electric vehicles could change the economics of V2G participation with lower battery degradation costs. Ramping up the deployment of VGI
