As always, a great post from Axle Energy, the British start-up specialising in distributed energy flexibility, on the challenges of #V2G, or bidirectional charging of electric cars. It has to work for people.

V2G's Last Mile Is Human

The vehicle warranty for BYD’s best-selling electric vehicle in Australia now officially covers bidirectional charging – at least for the Amber Electric #V2G project.

Significant steps forward in enabling electric cars in Europe to feed energy back into the grid:

Major strides for vehicle-to-grid: the key amendment to the ISO 15118-20 standard, which standardises AC bidirectional charging with a clear separation of functions between the charging point and the vehicle’s inverter, is now an officially published standard. This means there are significant additions to the version published in 2022, which – as things currently stand – must be technically supported (though not necessarily to the full extent of its functionality) by all new private and p…

The European Commission is now running a public consultation on the Network Code on Requirements for Grid Connection of Generators (RfG 2.0), which will allow (and require) solar inverters and bidirectional EV charging to help stabilise the grid.

“EVs can power the grid. Why aren’t more of them doing it?”

EVs can power the grid. Why aren't more of them doing it?
Bidirectional charging can send power to the grid when it's under stress, and earn money for EV owners. But rolling it out is a challenge.

"V2H carried 75% of discharged energy but 86% of total value this month, up from 68% and 77% in July. Powering the house directly is worth more per kWh than exporting it"
Interesting monthly analysis by 🇦🇺 retailer Amber Electric of its bidirectional EV charging project.

China is - once again - leading the way in actually delivering user benefits in flexible EV charging; this now also applies to the live #V2G trials
(it is my understanding, however, that this is partly a pilot bonus, on top of the market value)

In my view, ‘public’ (in public EV charging) should mean ‘supporting flexibility’.
