Adaptions

V2G technology requires new hardware such as additional power electronics in
vehicles or charging stations to enable bidirectional current flow back to the grid.
Upgraded hardware is necessary to support the advanced software required for
V2G.

The software for V2G must facilitate data exchange between vehicles, chargers,
and the electricity system or property, involving information on contracts, tariffs,
billing, energy needs, network codes, schedules, State of Charge (SOC), and
technical variables.

Data exchange requirements vary based on the service the vehicle's battery is
providing, with different response time expectations depending on the targeted
markets like national support services, energy arbitrage, flexibility markets, or self-
consumption of solar power.

Charging strategies need to be tailored considering factors like planned car usage
and battery health impact.
