What Is Vehicle-to-Grid Technology and How Does It Work?

EV Connect

Department of Energy (DOE), the growing demand from plug-in electric vehicles and many other technologies that require electricity could increase the load on our power grids by up to 38% by 2050. Power companies and government agencies are working hard to meet this demand, but it’s a challenging task. How Does V2G Work?
