Case Studies
- Daily Commuter (9-5 Worker)
A 9-5 worker trickle charges their EV at work, drives home, and plugs in to discharge during peak hours (5 PM to 9 PM). This routine can generate up to $30 per day. Alternatively, trickle charging at home off their solar system for free and discharging into the grid in the evening can also provide substantial savings and earnings.
- Retiree or Fleet Vehicles
Retirees or fleet vehicles that return to base by 5 PM can discharge their remaining battery during peak hours. Trickle charging ‘off-peak’ to 100% overnight ensures they are ready for the next day. This approach not only meets sustainability targets but can also lead to net zero carbon contributions and eliminate electricity bills, potentially earning up to $45 per day.
- Outcome for All Vehicles
By strategically discharging during peak hours and charging off-peak, all vehicles can contribute to a stable grid while achieving significant financial gains and sustainability goals. This not only supports individual financial goals but also promotes a broader transition to sustainable energy practices. V2G technology offers a transformative approach to energy management, providing environmental, financial, and resilience benefits for every lifestyle.
