Technologies for aggregating electric vehicle charging: an Italian excellence

Starting from July 1, 2026, only charging infrastructures with a Charging Infrastructure Controller (CIR) will be able to remain on the list of devices prepared by GSE for access to possible incentives. The CIR project aims to promote integration between electric vehicles and the power grid, implementing the so-called "vehicle to grid" paradigm. In this context, the interaction between electric vehicles and the electrical system must allow vehicles to provide, through charging infrastructures, reserve and balancing services to the grid, as well as actions for congestion resolution and additional services, including primary and secondary frequency regulation and voltage regulation, where technically feasible.

The objective of the conference is therefore to highlight this technological opportunity to provide flexibility to the grid, security to the system, and simplify charging for users, in a perspective of maximum collaboration between institutions, research bodies, and Italian and foreign charging infrastructure manufacturers.
