Unlike those you may have grown accustomed to seeing, many of these stations don’t just charge electric cars—they can also send power from vehicle batteries to the local utility grid for use by homes and businesses. Debates over the feasibility and value of such vehicle-to-grid technology go back decades. This is good for the grid.

The project uses Ford F-150 Lightning electric trucks to deliver power to owners’ homes during peak demand times to support Maryland’s power grid. Sunrun is networking and monitoring the enrolled F-150 Lightning trucks as they share stored energy during dispatch windows between the hours of 5 and 9 pm on weekdays.

With bidirectional charging, the batteries in our vehicles can not only provide fuel for the road but energy for our homes and even our shared electrical grid. In one-directional charging, alternating current (AC) electricity is converted to direct current (DC) energy that’s stored in an EV battery to power the car.

It’s probably easiest to assume the Rivian is in between your typical midsize and full-size half-ton truck, so I did a quick comparo between 4WD quad-cab short-bed versions of Ford’s Ranger and F-150 to illustrate.

All electric motors used by Audi are liquid-cooled, so as to maintain their reliable operating temperature of at most 180 °C (356 °F). The interior of the power electronics attains temperatures considerably higher than 100°C (212 °F). In theory stations with up to 150 kW are conceivable. The passive circuit delivers about 0.5

Demand response programs are an increasingly popular and inventive ways for utilities to ensure grid stability during peak usage. Whenever the grid usage is at its peak, the utility notifies the customer of a demand response event. V2L is currently included on EVs such as the Hyundai Ioniq 5, Ford F-150 Lightning, and Rivian R1T.

Drivers are only beginning to tap into another big benefit: vehicle-to-grid (V2G) charging. This technology has huge potential upsides not only for EV drivers but also for businesses and even the entire electrical grid. What Is Vehicle-to-Grid Charging? Here’s a look at how V2G works and the ROI it can bring.
