Our Story
Founded by experienced industry leaders Matt Downie and James Murray, V2Grid Australia emerged from a shared belief that Australia’s transition to electric mobility could do more than reduce emissions—it could reshape how we generate, store, and use energy.
Our founders, both veterans in the fields of sustainable energy and EV infrastructure, saw a future where every EV becomes a mobile power source, helping Australians to not only reduce fuel dependency but also stabilise the grid during peak times.
Together, their combined expertise and innovative thinking has led to the successful launch V2Grid Australia. V2Grid Australia sets the stage for Australia’s first complete vehicle-to-grid solution that benefits users in both public and private environments.
Today, we’re paving the way for an interconnected energy landscape where EVs are integral to everyday energy resilience.
V2Grid Australia offers more than a charging station. Our advanced V2G technology transforms EVs into mobile energy sources that has the capacity to give power back to the grid when it’s needed most.
Whether powering a home during a blackout, balancing energy loads at work, or feeding back to the grid, our solution is a smart investment in energy independence. This next-generation charging infrastructure is designed to adapt as grid technology evolves, making our system future-proof and reliable.
With our unique, first-to-market technology, Australia’s energy landscape is moving towards a cleaner, more self-reliant future, where every EV is a contributor to a stronger, more sustainable grid.
Electric vehicles (EVs) can help you save on energy costs by doing more than just getting you from point A to B. Through bidirectional charging technology, EVs not only take in power but can also send electricity back out – giving you the opportunity to power your home or feed energy back into the grid.
V2G is a form of bidirectional charging that allows an EV’s battery to supply power to the grid, similar to how solar systems with net metering send excess energy back to the grid for bill credits. This capability can relieve stress on the grid during peak times and maximize the value of your electric vehicle.V2G technology offers several advantages:
V2G technology offers several advantages:
By providing energy back to the grid during high demand, V2G can help stabilize it
EVs equipped with V2G allow you to earn credits on your electric bill, maximizing your solar or EV investment
With V2G, EVs serve as mobile batteries, making it easier to use clean energy
In addition to V2G, other forms of bidirectional charging include:
Vehicle-to-Home (V2H): Powers your home during outages
Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) and Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V): Powers individual devices or other EVs
V2Grid Australia offers a range of Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) chargers with various power capacities to support bidirectional charging.
Our products include:
Residential
7-22kW single and three phase V2G wallbox with 750V capacity.
Commercial

This charger allows EV owners to not only charge their vehicles but also feed energy back into the grid, demonstrating how public charging infrastructure can contribute to grid stability while offering savings to users. The case study highlights the integration of V2G in urban areas and its potential to reduce energy costs and improve sustainability.
Bidirectional charging allows your EV to both take in power and give electricity back to your home or the grid. V2G specifically refers to the process of supplying energy back to the grid, which can help balance grid demand and reduce energy bills during peak hours.
By using stored energy from your EV battery during peak times, you can avoid high electricity rates, offsetting costs. If you have a solar system, you can store excess solar energy in your EV battery and use it during these periods.
No, not all EVs support bidirectional charging. However, more models with this capability are expected to enter the market by 2025, aligning with V2G technology advancements.
Frequent charging and discharging can lead to some battery wear over time. However, V2Grid Australia’s technology is designed to manage this impact, helping to extend battery life by optimising charge cycles.
According to Indra research, using V2G can lead to savings of up to 30% on energy bills, depending on your energy consumption patterns and peak pricing structures.
V2G chargers require a compatible bidirectional charging unit, wiring support, and connection to either the home or the grid. V2Grid Australia provides installation and support to ensure everything is set up according to standards.
Yes, V2G can still be valuable without solar panels by allowing you to store grid power in your EV at off-peak rates and use it during high-demand periods, effectively reducing your electricity costs.
V2Grid Australia provides comprehensive customer support, helping with installation, troubleshooting, and software configuration.
