What is V2G?

Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) systems leverage a bidirectional EV charging platform to send (discharge) some of the energy stored in a parked EV’s battery to the grid when utilities need it most, for example, for a few hours in the late afternoon on a hot summer day.

EV fleet operators/owners using V2G bidirectional charging systems (software and hardware) can choose whether to participate and earn revenue from their local utility operator. The fleet operator’s local utility must have a program that allows vehicle grid services (sending energy stored in the EV battery to the grid, when it’s needed most).
