Hi Martha, Last week, I shared that Fermata Energy <https://usw2.nyl.as/t1/295/7cx5k3prydudzf4jko4aypxfb/0/0a918a10f05a057b16f248cfc5cafeae1f789887f912c2cfd69fad649c52dd69> received the first UL certification <https://usw2.nyl.as/t1/295/7cx5k3prydudzf4jko4aypxfb/1/37bdfb563f7691a3ad52003ceba02e970e16c8b76cb21ba9f1decd1db1a540e7> for Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) compliant bidirectional EV chargers. Today, Phoenix Motor Inc <https://usw2.nyl.as/t1/295/7cx5k3prydudzf4jko4aypxfb/2/1815af6f065f1b8fffc674e1988c0d133cd1c6ce347792bbe1146d720a5052fd>. and *Fermata Energy announced* the successful integration of V2G capabilities for every medium-duty electric vehicle in Phoenix Motorcars' lineup. *(See attached **News Release* <https://usw2.nyl.as/t1/295/7cx5k3prydudzf4jko4aypxfb/3/dd84380a22aa24da790883b47f5649bdbb42a5b865f7638d5fea44dd4273d2c8> *).* - This includes electric school buses, shuttle buses, and trucks, spanning all generations of their vehicles from 2014 to the present. This marks an industry-first milestone, propelling electric commercial vehicles into grid symbiosis during peak demand -- *Even older generation vehicles can be retrofitted with V2G capability through a simple software update,* making Phoenix Motorcars the first commercial vehicle manufacturer to offer V2G across its entire product range. - Additionally, Phoenix Motorcars has plans to equip its next-generation vehicles with 60kW V2G capability using the CCS charging protocol in collaboration with Fermata Energy. The significance of this collaboration goes beyond the EV industry. - Phoenix Motorcars and Fermata Energy have also signed a commercial partnership agreement to facilitate the seamless deployment of V2G-capable vehicles, chargers, and managed V2G services. This development is crucial as V2G capability is pivotal in *accelerating the adoption of electric commercial vehicles*, *allowing fleets to establish a symbiotic relationship with power grids*, especially during peak demand periods. This partnership marks a pivotal moment in the EV industry, heralding a future where electric vehicles seamlessly integrate into the energy ecosystem. - We believe this story is not only newsworthy but also holds the potential to reshape the way we view sustainable transportation and energy management. *Denton Peng,* the CEO of Phoenix Motor Inc., and *Tony Posawatz*, the CEO of Fermata Energy, are available to provide their insights into how V2G capabilities will impact the electrification efforts of commercial fleets and the broader implications for energy grid resilience. Key Points: - V2G integration for all Phoenix EVs, even older models, via software updates. - Next-gen vehicles to offer faster 60kW V2G capabilities. - This development signifies a major leap towards sustainable transportation and grid resilience.
