BATTERY TECHNOLOGY + ENERGY STORAGE. Balancing the grid by accelerating the V2G ecosystem with electric buses & trucks.
About us
Fuse is delivering a fully functional and scalable V2G solution that will optimize efficiency and data to balance the electricity grid and reduce carbon and particulate emissions. In British Columbia, fleet owners can make idle vehicle battery capacity available to utilities for peak shaving on an agreed schedule and commercial terms. Utilities benefit from the battery storage they need and fleet owners get paid to help purchase electric MHD’s and charging infrastructure. And a bonus – everyone gets to breathe cleaner air. With funding support from CICE, Fuse with its partners will move forward to evaluate and validate V2G opportunities and create a V2G growth plan. From development of V2G control and operations software, procurement and connection of electric buses, site selection and preparation, installation of V2G charging infrastructure, utility interface with BC Hydro, to ultimately commissioning and testing of the V2G system.

“Normal” is just another word for something we stopped questioning. This video highlights an absurdities hiding in plain sight — and it’s exactly the kind of thinking that drives us at Fuse Power Management. We’re reimagining how EVs and the grid work together to build something cleaner, smarter, and a lot less “normal.” #V2G #CleanEnergy #EVs #Innovation #SmartGrid #EnergyTransition #RethinkNormal #FusePowerManagement

By 2050, Canada will need two to three times more electricity. That scale of demand could erode our clean power advantage or launch a new era of growth, if we play it right. Record-breaking calls for new power are drawing billions in private investment. But turning clean electricity into reliable, affordable power for homes, businesses, and new industries requires one thing: energy storage. Storage is the game-changer. It makes renewables dependable, avoids costly grid upgrades, and builds high-quality jobs along the way. The innovators leading the charge are right here at home: Moment Energy, Foreseeson Technology, FUTURi Power, Fuse Power Management, Aqua-Cell Energy, Invinity Energy Systems, and more. At NorthX Climate Tech, we’re proud to be backing them. At the Eurasia Group's U.S.–Canada Summit yesterday, Ambassador Bruce Heyman, former U.S. Ambassador and now CEO of Power Sustainable, put it simply: renewables are making investors real money. And with uncertainty in the U.S., capital is looking north. If we invest wisely, energy storage won’t just protect Canada’s clean electricity advantage, it will power the next generation of growth.

A great reminder indeed of how collaboration and innovation are driving Canada’s clean energy future. Our team at Fuse Power Management is proud to be part of the ecosystem helping move from 1 million EVs to many more.
From 10,000 to 1 Million EVs — Canada’s Electric Transformation ⚡🇨🇦 At this year’s Electric Mobility Canada conference, Neetika Sathe reminded us how far we’ve come. Back at EVVE 2010, electric vehicles were just entering the market. By 2014, we had surpassed 10,000 EVs. And now, in 2025, we’re on the verge of reaching 1 million EVs on Canadian roads — an incredible milestone worth celebrating. In just 15 years, the EV sector has evolved from a niche market into a sunrise industry driving Canada’s clean economy — fueling job creation, investment, and technological advancement across the country. Of course, the road hasn’t been without its bumps. Policy pauses, tariffs, and myths around affordability and range have all tested our progress. Yet, as Neetika noted, these moments also give us a chance to recalibrate, rebuild trust, and renew momentum. As Daniel Breton highlighted, 130,000 Canadians now work in the EV sector — from assembly lines and charging networks to software, fleets, and logistics. With the right policies and continued collaboration, that number could grow to 600,000 by 2035. This isn’t just about vehicles; it’s about Canada’s economic future. That’s why gatherings like EVVE 2025 matter — they remind us of the collective purpose behind this transformation. Many thanks to the talented EMC team for hosting such an impactful event. See you all in Winnipeg for EVVE 2026!

Great work, Serena Kim and team. These insights really highlight why the transition from pilot to scale has been so slow for V2G in North America. At Fuse Power Management, we see the same barriers every day—misaligned incentives, fragmented standards, and the need for utilities to gain more confidence in the technology. The opportunity is massive: turning parked EVs into grid assets that reduce costs and strengthen resilience. It’s going to take collaboration across automakers, regulators, and grid operators to unlock this potential. Studies like this are a big step in the right direction.
EV batteries, when idle, are essentially batteries on wheels. So why don’t more people use this capacity to support the grid and earn revenue? To answer this, we interviewed 42 practitioners across utilities, automakers, governments, school districts, and pilot programs. Their insights reveal the barriers slowing Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) adoption in the United States. Summary below. Full paper (preprint, under peer review): https://lnkd.in/edHKA9Ja This study was led by Crystal Soderman, with Jen Yip, Manish Shirgaokar and me as co-authors. We thank the interviewees for their insights and the subject matter experts whose guidance helped shape this study.

We like this framing — it’s a simple way to visualize a very complex stack of services. At Fuse, we’re finding that fleets are most motivated by the “base” layers (optimization + resilience), but the real system value comes when we can unlock those higher-level services in partnership with utilities and regulators.

🔋 A Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs… for Vehicle-to-Grid Services? While trying to organize the value stack of V2G/V2H/V2L services, I thought: why not take inspiration from Maslow’s hierarchy of needs? The idea is to conceptualize the different services based on: 💰 Monetary potential ⚡ Energy requirements 🚗 Vehicle availability constraints 🛠️ Ease of implementation Here’s my take on a Hierarchy of Needs for V2G services, starting from the most fundamental and easy-to-implement services (the "base") to the most complex or constrained (the "top"): 🟩 1. Behind-the-Meter Optimization Time-of-Use shifting, solar self-consumption, mostly V2H (reduction of consumption). ✅ Easy to implement, no market participation needed. 🟨 2. Backup Power / Emergency Use Home resilience during outages, V2G with islanding or V2L. ✅ High user value, especially in rural/off-grid areas, not yet part of formal energy services. 🟧 3. Congestion Management / Local Grid Services Support for local grid operation, either V2H (reduction of consumption) or V2G (injection of power) ✅ Valuable for grid operators, but requires coordination and real-time metering at the local level. 🟦 4. Balancing Services (FCR-D, aFRR) Frequency regulation and reserves, either V2H (reduction of consumption) or V2G (injection of power) ✅ Potentially high value, but requires reliable aggregation and market access. 🟥 5. Wholesale Market Arbitrage Buy low, sell high strategies, mostly V2G (injection of power). ✅ High complexity and battery wear, but potentially lucrative for fleets or stationary V2G (second life batteries).. 📌 Different views or additional services?
