Why standardising bidirectional charging is key to enabling vehicle-to-grid (V2G) and driving Europe’s next energy revolution. More than a century ago a fierce technological and marketing battle raged between Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla to establish the standard for electrical power distribution. One favoured Direct Current (DC), the other Alternating … [continued]
Electric vehicle stakeholders continue to move the needle on EV charging stations, despite Trump’s disruption of the federal NEVI program.
Electric school buses and other electric vehicles with vehicle-to-grid capability can benefit the whole community by sharing the kilowatts stored up in their batteries.

The Fresno Economic Opportunities Commission (EOC) has joined with global technology leader Nuvve to electrify its vehicles and develop solar power capacity. The entire system will have 56 EV chargers and use V2G technology for about 50 electric shuttles at the Fresno, California, site. Energy storage will also be included … [continued]
The advancement of smart grid technologies and renewable energy sources has transformed the automobile and power industries. We know that electric vehicle batteries produce much less carbon than their internal combustion engine vehicle counterparts. Then again, there’s concern about the amount of electricity that EVs consume — and whether that … [continued]
I just attended a GM Energy presentation that showcased vehicle-to-home (V2H) and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) capabilities, and plans for energy management services. Despite concerns about battery degradation, the company’s comprehensive approach to energy solutions aims to improve grid resiliency and reduce power outages. GM Energy, a new business unit of General … [continued]
There is a delightful fantasy out there that says the batteries in all the electric cars in the world could act as a giant, distributed virtual power plant that would store electricity from renewables when it is abundant and supply it back to the grid when demand exceeds supply. The … [continued]
Polestar says it won’t cut prices to boost sales. It is also planning to take part in a major V2G experiment and add Lidar to the Polestar 4.
Several states are mandating all-electric vehicle sales by 2035, and one of the most commonly asked questions surrounding widespread EV adoption is “Can the grid handle all those electric cars?” In their latest white paper, GridBeyond tackles the issues surrounding the rapid uptake of EV options, and how vehicle-to-everything (“V2X”) … [continued]
