Event Details
Electric vehicles aren't just transport, they're one of the world's largest fleets of batteries, sitting mostly untapped in our garages. As solar and EV adoption accelerate in parallel, the technology to connect them is quickly becoming one of the most valuable unlocks in the energy transition. By connecting these two abundant assets, Merge Energy is unlocking the world's most affordable, sustainable and scalable storage for solar.
In this TechTalk, Tyson Rose, CEO and Co-founder of Merge Energy, will unpack:
Why EVs are a double-edged sword for the grid.
The hidden opportunity in electric vehicles to rescue our energy system.
What vehicle-to-grid (V2G) is, and the barriers currently limiting widespread adoption.
How Synthetic Solar™ technology is the key to scaling battery storage in Australia and around the world.
Why affordability, interoperability and scalability are critical to unlocking mass adoption of distributed energy storage.
With perspectives spanning deep tech commercialisation and the energy transition, this conversation will provide practical insights for founders, operators and investors interested in energy storage, electric vehicles and the future of the grid.
