False Starts: The Story of Vehicle-to-Grid Power

Cars That Think

They wanted to see whether an electric vehicle could feed electricity back to the grid. The company’s president, Tom Gage , dubbed the system “vehicle to grid” or V2G. And EV owners would become entrepreneurs, selling electricity back to the grid. And indeed, that’s how promoters of vehicle-to-grid technology perceive the EV.

More details about California’s proposal requiring bidirectional charging capabilities for all EVs

Charged EVs

In recent testimony, Nuvve CEO Gregory Poilasne told the lawmakers that bidirectional charging can reduce the total cost of EV ownership, and that it’s essential for integrating more renewable energy into the grid. Then it takes the DC from the bus, or car, and converts it back to AC to provide power for the grid.

Grabbing the prime real estate for electric truck charging hubs

Charged EVs

A charging hub for heavy-duty vehicles requires a tremendous amount of power, and local utilities can take years to install new electrical service. And they assigned us every bit of capacity that was available on the grid. Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) tech is a hot topic these days. Paul Gioupis: We’re very mindful of the grid pull.
