Vehicle To Grid Supporter Arguments

What’s happening? V2G- Vehicle to Grid- supporters say that the system of equipping EVs with bidirectional charging capabilities will have these benefits:

  • furthers scaled adoption of EVs
  • eliminates range anxiety
  • theoretically a vehicle could earn money while parked, thereby lowering the cost of the EV
  • Denmark has a fully operational commercial grid to vehicle fleet
  • North Boulder Recreation Center piloted a program of V2B to reduce building costs

Why is this important? it will also cover vehicle to home or vehicle to building V2H and V2B

How will this be important? Texas may find out in 2022 when Ford F-150 Lighting owners in Texas with the additional bidirectional charging system will be able to potentially power their homes for days next time the grid goes down.
