Researchers at WMG, University of Warwick, have repurposed end-of-life electric vehicle batteries as small energy storage systems (ESS) for off-grid locations in developing countries or isolated communities. How to keep it low cost and easy maintenance, while providing an interface that is easy to use and understand.

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.

There have been vigorous debates pro and con in the United States and elsewhere over whether electric grids can support EVs at scale. This situation is not true universally. trillion in capital, operations, and maintenance costs by 2035. The answer is a nuanced “perhaps.” million miles of power lines.

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.

The effect that access to reliable electricity has had on the village is amazing,” says Morgan Kiani , an engineering professor at Texas Christian University , in Fort Worth. Hybrid inverters convert the solar panels’ DC power to AC so it can be used by light fixtures and household appliances.
