Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) describes a system in which plug-in electric vehicles (PIEVs) sell demand response services to the electrical grid. Such services are either backfeeding electricity to the grid, or reducing the rate of charge from the grid at different times of the day.

Vehicle-to-grid, or V2G for short, is a technology that enables energy to be pushed back to the power grid from the battery of an electric vehicle (EV). With V2G technology, an EV battery can be discharged based on different signals – such as energy production or consumption nearby.

Feb 11, 2025 · Vehicle-to-Grid, or short V2G, is a technology that enables electric vehicles to send power stored in their batteries back to the power grid. It has been developed to help balance energy production and consumption. Vehicle-to-grid is one of several cases of so-called bidirectional charging. All in all, there are three main cases:

Feb 10, 2024 · Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) is an emerging technology that allows an EV to help stabilise the grid using a specialised bidirectional charger. We explain how vehicle-to-grid technology works and highlight the many benefits V2G will offer in an increasingly decentralised and renewable powered energy system.

Feb 20, 2024 · V2G is the kind of bidirectional charging that allows you to make or save money on electricity. It refers to a type of charging capability that allows an EV to send electricity directly into...

Apr 17, 2025 · V2G trials are taking place in many countries around the world. In Utrecht, Renault has partnered with several carsharing services in a V2G project that involves 500 Renault 5 cars.

Dec 5, 2024 · Vehicle-to-Grid, or V2G, is an innovative technology that allows electric vehicles (EVs) to serve as more than just modes of transportation. Through bidirectional charging, V2G allows EVs to send power directly back to the grid, helping to …

V2X (Vehicle-to-everything) is a bi-directional charging technology which enables energy to be passed to and from an EV battery. V2X encompasses all forms of EV energy transfer including Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G), Vehicle-to-Building (V2B), Vehicle …

Dec 20, 2021 · Vehicle-to-grid, or V2G, technology is smart charging tech that allows car batteries to give back to the power grid. In essence, it treats these high-capacity batteries as not only tools to power EVs but backup storage cells for the electrical grid.

What is V2G? Vehicle to Grid (V2G) is a subset of the larger concept of a vehicle providing electrical power to an external device. This broader concept is often called Vehicle to Everything (V2X) and includes Vehicle to Load (V2L), Vehicle to Building (V2B) and Vehicle to Grid (V2G).
