BYD charging in front of the venue for today’s European 🇪🇺 #V2G meeting in Vienna - "can do" meets “it’s complicated”
Octopus is scaling up #V2G with a bundled package that includes electric vehicle (BYD Dolphin) leasing, a bidirectional AC wallbox and a smart tariff. This guarantees 'zero charging costs' for the entire lease period.

This is an interesting graph from an interesting Amber Electric blog, showing what participating households pay (or rather, receive) for electricity as part of their 🇦🇺 #V2G trial. Note that here are already three CCS DC bidirectional chargers on offer!

#V2G
Fascinating map by Elecore showing how much a #V2G-capable electric school bus (one year, regular driving pattern, 30 kW bidirectional charger) could make in different locations under PG&E's Hourly Flex Pricing Pilot(*) in California
„Aus volkswirtschaftlicher Perspektive sind Bidi-Fahrzeuge als Speicher damit konkurrenzlos günstig. #V2G könnte daher auch bei niedrigeren Zyklenzahlen und geringeren Preisspreads wirtschaftlich sein, sodass insgesamt mehr Speicherpotenzial ins System kommt und neue Optionen zur Entschärfung von Dunkelflauten entstehen.“
On expected #V2G returns: “Given the Netherlands’ more strained grid, Faton believes savings will be even higher there.”
Tough bet in a country where grid operators provide no financial incentives to residential customers to shift demand, let alone support the local grid with V2G.
