What is V2H?

Driivz

Homeowners living in areas where utilities offer variable pricing can use V2H to reduce their electric bills by tapping the EV battery for power during peak demand times when electricity from the grid is most costly. Using the energy stored in your EV battery instead of grid energy can also help reduce your carbon footprint.

Automakers agree on common plug to recharge electric vehicles

Tony Karrer Delicious EVdriven

Once weve consolidated everything to depend on the grid, we can clean up everything by cleaning up the grid. Once electric cars are more common, demand for electricity will rise, and electricity producers will have to look at big generators such as dams, nuclear stations or decentralised wind turbines that feed in to the grid.
