CharIN North America invites industry leaders, automakers, charging manufacturers, utilities, energy companies, standards organizations, government agencies, testing laboratories, and solution providers to participate in the inaugural North American AC V2G Task Force Workshop. This half-day workshop will bring together experts from across the ecosystem to review the current state of AC bidirectional charging, align ongoing standards and certification activities, identify interoperability challenges, and establish a collaborative roadmap for accelerating market adoption.
