In a new Swedish V2G trial, parking enforcement vehicles will generate revenue not only during their money-making rounds on the streets, but also while parked in a garage: with #V2G, they will feed energy back into the grid at high prices and charge at low prices.

Först i Sverige – Linköping testar elbilar som energiresurs i stadsmiljö | Dukaten
I ett nytt Vinnova-finansierat projekt kommer VTI och Dukaten att testa Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G)-teknik i statsmiljö. Genom att koppla upp parkeringsövervakningsbilar mot elnätet i ett av Dukatens parkeringshus, ska projektet undersöka hur elbilar kan användas för att leverera energi tillbaka till nätet vid effekttoppar. Den här lösningen kan öppna upp för nya tjänster inom både mobilitet och energi.

How do we steer EV charging so that it strengthens, rather than strains, the power grid? One of the clearest answers emerging from global leading practice is the use of smart pricing to guide smart EV charging.

Smart Pricing for Smart Charging: Practical Lessons from the EU and China
As electric vehicles become mainstream, governments are beginning to ask a harder question: how do we steer this growing load so that it strengthens, rather than strains, the power grid? One of the clearest answers emerging from global leading practice is the use of smart pricing to guide smart EV c

E.ON's #V2G tariff in Germany, which works with the newest BMW EV and DC bidirectional home charger, is now accepting applications. As this is Germany, legal and tax clarity was needed on revenues from feeding energy back into the grid: V2G is 'Liebhaberei'. [The simple translation from German is: 'It's a hobby.' However, we could also call it a love affair, which might be mo…

“an EV owner in Shenzhen, told Rest of World he earned 1,400 yuan ($197) in charging credits after leaving his car in a #V2G-enabled parking lot for two days. The money he earned was enough to cover his charging costs for an entire year. The parking lot that Li used, however, was one where power..
