Bend, Oregon
Two loops, two business models, one V2G system
A 260-site resort split between weekend transients and full-time seasonals. Ninety 50A pedestals now meter transient charging and dispatch seasonal battery capacity into evening peaks.
30 minutes, no cost — pick a time after a few property questions.
Scale
260 sites (95 full-time)
Service
50A on two loops, 400A spare headroom
V2G enabled
90 bidirectional pedestals
The starting point
- Electric tow vehicles and battery-heavy rigs were charging on flat-rate transient sites at the resort's expense.
- Full-time seasonal rigs sat connected for months with no revenue path for their onboard storage.
- Evening peaks in July collided with air-conditioning load across the whole park.
The build
Phase 1
Split the loops
Transient loops were submetered for billable charging; seasonal loops were prioritized for bidirectional hardware and long-dwell dispatch.
Phase 2
Seasonal enrollment
Full-time guests opt in for a monthly site credit, with a reserve floor so their rigs stay travel-ready.
Phase 3
Evening peak dispatch
Aggregated seasonal capacity discharges into the 5–9pm window, flattening the park's own summer demand peak first.
Phase 4
Fleet pilot
A regional service fleet parks overnight on nine dedicated pedestals, adding a predictable weekday capacity block.

| Grid program revenue | $0 | $23,400 / yr | new line item |
| Seasonal site retention | 81% | 94% | +13 pts |
