What is V2G charging ?
V2G is when a bidirectional EV charger is used to supply power (electricity) from an EV car’s battery to the grid via a DC to AC converter system usually embedded in the EV charger. V2G can be used to help balance and settle local, regional or national energy needs via smart charging.
What does V2G mean? vehicle to grid
V2G stands for “vehicle-to-grid” and is a technology that enables energy to be pushed back to the power grid from the battery of an electric car. With vehicle-to-grid technology, a car battery can be charged and discharged based on different signals — such as energy production or consumption nearby.
V2G: Vehicle to Grid
V2G is when a bidirectional EV charger is used to supply power (electricity) from an EV car’s battery to the grid via a DC to AC converter system usually embedded in the EV charger. V2G can be used to help balance and settle local, regional or national energy needs via smart charging. It allows EVs to charge during off-peak hours and give back to the grid during peak hours, when there is extra energy demand. This makes perfect sense: cars sit in parking spaces 95% of the time, thus with careful planning and the right infrastructure, parked and plugged-in EVs could become mass power banks, stabilizing the electric grids of the future. In this way, we can think of EVs as big batteries on wheels, helping to make sure that there is always enough energy for everyone at any given time.
