Vehicle electrification is envisioned to be a significant component of the forthcoming Smart Grid. In this document, a Smart Grid vision of electric vehicle technology for the next 30 years and beyond is presented from six different perspectives: 1) social, economic, and political implications, 2) intelligent vehicles and grid interaction, 3) infrastructure, 4) travelers, 5) communications, and 6) systems, operations, and scenarios. Following the chapters focusing on these distinct perspectives, conclusive remarks will overview the interconnections among all chapters. Discussions of key technologies dictating the real future of the evolution of vehicle electrification will also be included.
