Today is the last day to get your nominations in for this year’s Electric Vehicle Innovation and Excellence Awards (EVIEs).
There’s still just enough time to put forwards your nominees for the Innovation in V2G Award to ensure they’re in with a chance to take the top spot from last year’s winner ViGiL (Vehicle-to-Grid Intelligent Control) from ByteSnap Design, Nortech, Grid Edge & Aston University.
Who should enter?
This award is designed to recognise development in what is tipped to be one of the most important technologies in the clean energy transition.
Nominations should include specific, technical detail behind how the nominee has developed vehicle-to-grid technologies, and case studies of deployment in real-world situations are especially welcomed.
For this award there is no geographical or time-based limitations, and judges will be asked to reflect on the merit of technologies that are ready for real-world testing or deployment and those still at the pilot phase.
How to enter?
Entering the EVIEs could not be simpler. Our nominations process is entirely online and entrants can submit into as many categories as they wish to from the same profile.
Step one
Create a profile on the EVIEs website here. You’ll need a few simple details such as name and email address, and to create a password for your EVIEs account. Click ‘save’ at the bottom of the page to create your account.
Step two
Once signed in, clicking ‘The Awards Categories’ will bring up all the entry information and eligibility criteria for each of this year’s categories. To start a submission click on the ‘Submissions’ tab, followed by ‘add new’.
