Vehicle-to-Grid: The right monetization strategies will be key to the future success of Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G)

Published on March 30, 2023

With increasing renewable energy sources, the electric grid faces higher volatility and consequently increased instability that must be counteracted. One solution to reduce these effects and maintain a stable power supply system is Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G). According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), by 2030 a total of 230 gigawatts (GW) of electricity demand has the potential to be moved to off-peak hours by using V2G.

There are many initiatives and start-ups present in the global V2G field. Politics has realized the potential electric mobility - and V2G in particular - offers for reaching CO2 emission targets. Additionally, several privately funded start-ups and some established companies exist in the V2G landscape. However, there are several challenges for V2G technology to be successfully implemented in the future, and monetization is key…
