This week in Berlin, I spent two busy days on all things V2G in Europe: what needs to be done to realise its potential contribution to a robust, reliable, affordable and clean energy system? Hosted by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy of Economy and Energy in collaboration with EU Energy, EU Transport and EU Digital & Tech, members of three European expert groups came together to discuss progress on a wide range of topics. What struck me is how dynamic grid tariffs are…

The Kia EV9 and the Hyundai IONIQ 9 are the two (enormous) cars that will be the first in the group to be used with a #V2G service. This will be launched in the Netherlands before being expanded to other markets and models (hopefully including more friendly ones).

Hyundai Motor Group Expands EV Energy Services with Vehicle to Grid and Vehicle to Home
Hyundai Motor and Kia expand Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) services, enabling electric vehicles (EVs) to store, supply and share electricity with grids and homes

10 million 🔋🚗🚛🚌vehicles on Europe's roads could become an important societal resource, if fit regulation is in place.
My new infographic for Regulatory Assistance Project offers recommendations to 🇪🇺 Member States on how to create a healthy ecosystem for #V2G to scale up.

How to scale V2G in Europe | Jaap Burger
New publication on vehicle-to-grid (#V2G)! Electric vehicles can do much more than just transport people or goods from one place to another. Through smart, bidirectional charging, EV batteries can become an important societal resource. With well over 10 million battery-electric cars, vans and buses already on Europe’s roads, the usable capacity of these mobile batteries is enormous. However, energy regulations are not always ready for these mobile batteries feeding in. Temporary deviations …

Renault is set to launch its Dutch AC bidirectional charging package in collaboration with We Drive Solar and Hegg Energy in the first half of 2026. This will be the first commercialised #V2G

Renault Group en We Drive Solar introduceren allereerste V2G AC-laden service in Nederland - Renault Group
In Nederland beschikt meer dan 70% van de EV-rijders thuis over zonnepanelen*. Met het einde van de salderingsregeling (januari 2027) in het verschiet, groeit de interesse voor hergebruik van goedkope en/of eigen opgewekte energie. V2G vormt een oplossing hiervoor, terwijl het tegelijkertijd bijdraagt aan het balanceren van het elektriciteitsnet in Nederland. Dankzij V2G-technologie is laden […]

Can you guess which country's EV charging strategy prioritises market-based price signals to guide charging and discharging?

Fascinating results from modelling different charging strategies (dumb, smart, #V2G) for 15 million BEVs in Germany in 2030, this research by Adeline Guéret, Carlos Gaete-Morales and @….
At 50% V2G, the system costs are lower than in the situation without EVs.

A moderate share of V2G outperforms large-scale smart charging of electric vehicles and benefits other consumers
While battery electric vehicles (BEVs) play a key role for decarbonizing the transport sector, their impact on the power sector heavily depends on their charging strategies. Here we systematically analyze various combinations between inflexible, smart and bidirectional (or vehicle-to-grid, V2G) charging of 15 million electric cars in Germany. Using a capacity expansion model, we find that even a moderate share of bidirectional charging below 30% leads to lower system costs than a fully smartly …

One point I have been raising is that, even before #V2G, smart-charged EVs can deliver both upward and downward capacity to the grid. This paper examines the Danish (DK2) market using data from Clever, the largest aggregator.
Per #EV yearly revenue: €170–210
(most profitable: aFRR down and FCR-D u…

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.

I joined Sohail Hasnie on the Energypreneurs podcast to discuss #EV policy, #V2G, different users, electricity rates, and fundamental changes to planning grids. We also discussed the many benefits of smart electrification (not only cars)!

Excellent blog by @mobilityhouse.com on #V2G / bidirectional charging standards.

Expert discussion on bidirectional charging standards
We discuss charging standards for bidirectional charging with our CTO, the Head of Bidirectional Charging Solutions, and our operating system provider EcoG.

Important decision for #V2G in Germany: parliament approves a legislative amendment that exempts electricity stored and supplied by bidirectional charging cars from energy tax and network costs. This makes the business case viable (and equivalent to large stationary batteries).

“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..

China wants electric cars to feed power back to the grid
The world's largest EV fleet could become a giant battery network if economic and technical hurdles are overcome.

“Users should be able to use any car with any charger and service. In addition to technical standards and grid codes,
we need user choice in legislation.”
That's what I wrote last week about #V2G (bidirectional charging).
