Go-live of a commercial vehicle fleet #V2G project in Germany: in Hanover, the city where the ID. Buzz is built, Enercity, the local utility, is optimising the bidirectional charging of its 75-strong Buzz fleet using energy arbitrage and ancillary services.

Yes, big batteries-on-wheels can also do #V2G.
On 24 April, there will be a live stream of a demonstration of a MAN electric truck doing bidirectional charging.
The batteries are bigger, the charging speeds are higher, and there are some interesting use cases involving depot charging infrastructure.

Nissan and Motability Operations are collaborating to scale #V2G with the new Nissan Leaf, which is built in the UK, in order to reduce running costs

“By the time #V2G is widely accepted as technically viable, the absence of bankable revenue frameworks may become the dominant constraint on scale. The challenge now is not to lock in a single national compensation model, but to begin the transition from temporary programs to durable market structures.”

RE: #V2G pilot in Sweden with Energy Bank and Vattenfall is now scaling to 200 cars

The long-awaited We Drive Solar – Renault #V2G bundle is now available to order in the Netherlands. It works with the We Drive Solar AC wallbox and Hegg Energy's dynamic energy contract (Hegg Energy is part of the same holding group as Mywheels carsharing).

What is needed to ensure that bidirectional charging ( #V2G/ #V2X ) contributes to energy resilience? An interesting internship opportunity is available, e.g. for a university master's thesis.

Volvo's latest EV, the EX60, is designed for #V2G, including the provision of FCR services to help stabilise the grid. While this could result in monthly savings of 500 SEK (€46) per car, it remains to be seen how users would benefit from this.

An excellent report by #UKERC on the much talked-about #V2G project in Utrecht: what it involves, how it’s set up, and what others can learn from it.
And it also shows that it is, in fact, still a pilot scheme:

#V2G / bidirectional charging is reaching the market in Austria 🇦🇹: MOON Power, a Porsche subsidiary, starts selling the Ambibox DC bidirectional charger. The starting price is €3,750 excluding VAT.
Integration is possible in own energy systems and contracts with local and remote interfaces.

Im Unterschied zum herkömmlichen Laden ermöglicht bidirektionales Laden den Stromfluss in beide Richtungen: vom Netz ins Fahrzeug und vom Fahrzeug zurück ins Netz. Unsere BiDi-Wallbox unterstützt Lade- und Entladeleistungen von bis zu 11 kW.

Austrian Post is taking further steps towards achieving this vision. Five delivery vans are currently being used in a
