Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G)
EVs as a Distributed Grid Battery (Nuvve and others)
International (Nuvve: San Diego, USA; operations in US, Europe, Japan)
Highlight
Turns parked electric vehicles into a distributed battery that stores renewables and feeds power back to the grid.
Extended description
Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology lets electric vehicles do more than consume power: they store renewable energy and feed it back to the grid at peak demand, turning thousands of parked vehicles into a distributed battery. Companies such as Nuvve operate commercial V2G platforms across the US, Europe and Japan, aggregating electric school buses and fleets and using AI to optimise charging and discharging. V2G improves grid flexibility and helps integrate more renewable energy.
