What is V2G or Vehicle-to-Grid Technology for Electric Cars?
April 25, 2022
Alternative energy sectors are growing fast – electric vehicles, home batteries, and solar systems are reducing many households' dependence on fossil fuels and the grid. But this may be the tip of the iceberg. As our cars often sit idle for 95 percent of the day, why not profit off the energy in our EV batteries?
A new technology known as Vehicle-to-Grid or V2G would allow households and businesses to use electric vehicle batteries to power homes, businesses, and the national electric grid, similar to how homeowners with solar systems can sell their excess energy to the energy providers.
