Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology, part of smart energy management , will help stabilize that demand – if we make V2G easy, convenient, and profitable for drivers to use. V2G returns the energy stored in EV batteries to the grid. Convincing EV owners to give back to the grid will take more than a vision of making the world better.
