You’ve probably heard the grid is under strain, and some claim EVs only make it worse. That is partly true, but it doesn’t have to be. Electric vehicles can actually strengthen the grid and help ratepayers save money if managed smartly.

On this episode, WeaveGrid CEO Apoorv Bhargava joins Max Patten to explain how their software coordinates utilities, automakers, and drivers to unlock the full potential of EVs as a flexible grid resource.

What you’ll hear in this episode:

Why bidirectional charging (V2G) is exciting, but managed charging is today’s big opportunity

Why EVs are often misunderstood as a grid liability and how they can be an asset

What managed charging and virtual power plants mean for drivers and the grid

How WeaveGrid partners with Rivian, Toyota, and utilities nationwide
