Why V2G

Interest in Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology has surged recently, with numerous
pilot projects, academic studies, and industry initiatives underway. The potential for large-
scale commercialization within five years is recognized by many industry players.

However, before widespread adoption can occur, several key issues must be addressed:

• Strengthening incentives, resolving storage, flexibility, and aggregation challenges,
  updating standards, regulations, and industry practices for V2G support are
  crucial.
• Reviewing tax and VAT rules, adapting business models and markets, and
  enhancing awareness among industry stakeholders and users are essential steps.
• Digitalization and optimizing control signals from the grid are critical
  considerations.
• Increasing the availability of bidirectional charging-capable car models and
  chargers, reducing technology costs, and deciding on control location (car or
  charging station) are important decisions to make.

As barriers are overcome, V2G holds significant potential to reduce system costs, enhance
resource efficiency, enable car owners to generate income through market participation
or increased self-use of solar power. The effective utilization of car batteries' capacity in
the future can bring substantial benefits to both car owners and the electricity system.
