The power grid is undergoing a transformative shift, driven by decarbonization, decentralization, and digitalization. Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology is at the heart of this transformation, holding tremendous promise for enhancing grid stability, lowering energy costs, and integrating renewable energy sources. However, inverter-based Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) introduce new complexities in testing: The interconnection of everything demands the… Read more »

RedEarth to manufacture bidirectional V2G-capable chargers in Australia
Just a few days ago, the Australian government announced the approval of a new standard that will allow EV owners to begin using vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology. Queensland-based RedEarth Energy Storage has wasted no time—it has signed a deal with ambibox to produce the German company’s bidirectional V2G-capable EV chargers at its manufacturing facility in Darra,… Read more »
Nissan to launch affordable V2G technology in 2026
Nissan has announced that it will introduce affordable bidirectional charging on select EV models in 2026. Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology enables EV owners to sell electricity stored in their car’s battery back to the grid or to use it for powering their homes. A year-long trial in the UK at the University of Nottingham validated the… Read more »
JET Charge participates in V2G study to support Australia’s grid during blackouts
Australian EV charging infrastructure company JET Charge has joined a study to establish technology for discharging power from EVs into Australia’s national power grid. The study was led by the Australian National University (ANU) and the Realising Electric Vehicle-to-Grid Services (REVS) project of the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA). The study monitored a fleet of… Read more »
Toyota and electric utility Pepco to study V2G technology
Toyota Motor North America and utility Potomac Electric (Pepco) will collaborate on vehicle-to-grid (V2G) research for EVs. Owned by Exelon, Pepco serves Washington DAC and surrounding communities in Maryland. Toyota and Pepco will conduct the V2G research at Pepco’s Watershed Sustainability Center in Montgomery County, Maryland, using a bidirectional charger. The utility will also work… Read more »
Oakland school district now has a 100% electric, V2G-capable school bus fleet
The transition to electric school buses is well underway in California—school districts in the state had ordered over 2,000 electric buses as of late 2023. In May, the Oakland Unified school district announced the conversion of its entire school bus fleet to EVs. (And none too soon—the American Lung Association recently reported that the Bay… Read more »
Synop is one of the few doing V2G projects commercially: Q&A with co-founder
Q&A with Synop co-founder Gagan Dhillon Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology is a hot topic—many EV industry execs say it has the potential to transform the transport and energy industries (we hear the term “game-changing” a lot). However, others have told Charged that they expect it to be more of a niche technology, useful only in certain… Read more »
