The Mobility House launches Cascade EV Aggregator to enable utility-level EV charging management

The Mobility House North America has unveiled Cascade EV Aggregator, a vehicle-grid integration platform designed to aggregate electric vehicle charging and discharging assets into coordinated energy resources for utilities.

Cascade EV Aggregator is presented as a utility-facing platform capable of managing electric vehicle loads across a wide range of charger and vehicle types, from residential chargers to fleet depots and electric school bus operations. The Mobility House North America states that the technology is designed to operate across the United States and Canada in collaboration with electric utility partners.

The company reports that Cascade is already being used to enable V2G participation for electric school bus fleets deployed in California, Massachusetts, and New York.

The Mobility House provides smart charging services in New York and Amsterdam, and in February 2025 entered a commercial partnership with Schneider Electric aiming to develop and implement advanced solutions for the deployment of electric vehicle (EV) fleet charging infrastructure worldwide.

The platform aggregates flexibility from multiple charge management systems and individual chargers distributed across a utility service area. Cascade can interface with existing fleet charge management systems, including The Mobility House’s ChargePilot, which continues to manage site-level charging optimization for fleet operators. Cascade operates above these systems, coordinating thousands of assets simultaneously to create a single aggregated resource for the grid.

The platform supports both unidirectional smart charging (V1G) and bidirectional vehicle-to-grid (V2G) operation, enabling electric vehicles to function either as flexible loads or as distributed energy storage capable of exporting power to the grid.

According to The Mobility House North America, Cascade EV Aggregator can deliver grid services including demand response, dynamic rate optimization, load shifting, and grid constraint management. The platform receives real-time signals from utilities or market programs and translates them into individualized charging plans aligned with vehicle mobility requirements. The resulting aggregated response is delivered as load reduction or energy export at the grid level.

Managing EVs load and storage capacity

The Mobility House North America references a BloombergNEF forecast estimating that electric vehicle battery capacity on U.S. roads could reach around 4 TWh within the next decade. BloombergNEF identifies this capacity as a large potential distributed energy resource when aggregated and optimized. Cascade EV Aggregator is positioned by the company as a tool to manage this growing volume of electric vehicle load and storage capacity within utility distribution networks.

“Electric vehicle batteries can play a substantial role in meeting the tremendous challenge of load growth on the electrical grid. The Mobility House is committed to developing the technology that harmonizes EV charging with reliable grid operations.” says Greg Hintler, CEO of The Mobility House North America.

“The electric school buses in our fleet work hard every day to get students to school safely. And now as a part of The Mobility House’s Cascade Aggregator they can earn revenue for the district supporting the energy grid while they are parked at the depot.” adds Ernest Epley, Transportation Director at Fremont Unified School District.

“Cascade provides a critical aggregation layer and optimization that coordinates charging activities to enable EVs to participate in virtual power plants. This is a powerful tool that enables vehicles to deliver flexibility to the grid at scale, making homes and businesses more energy and financially resilient.” concludes Russell Vare, VP of VGI, The Mobility House North America.
