What is
Vehicle-to-Grid?
V2G technology not only supports the grid but also offers financial advantages for EV owners. By participating in grid services, owners can earn money through:
- Supply stored energy to the grid during peak times to help lower overall demand.
- Assist in maintaining the grid's stability by balancing supply and demand fluctuations.
- Participate in programs that compensate EV owners for reducing their energy consumption during critical periods.
V2Grid technology represents a significant step forward in the electrification transition, providing both grid benefits and personal financial incentives for EV owners.

Solutions for EV Customers
Load Management
V2Grid Australia’s technology helps manage energy loads efficiently, balancing power between the EV, home, and grid. This reduces stress on the grid during peak hours and optimises energy use, benefiting both customers and the grid.
Solar Inclusions
With integrated solar compatibility, V2Grid Australia allows customers to store solar energy in their EV battery, enhancing renewable energy use and maximizing solar investment. This stored energy can then be used during evening peak times, reducing the need for grid power and further cutting energy expenses.
Customer Control
V2Grid Australia’s app enables customers to monitor, schedule, and adjust their energy usage patterns. You can prioritise using solar or stored energy during peak periods, putting you in control of your energy bills while making the most of renewable energy sources.
V2Grid Australia’s first public charger marks a significant milestone in the adoption of vehicle-to-grid technology.
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.
Frequently asked questions
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.
Benefits of
V2G Technology for EV Owners
Environmental Benefit
The Electric Vehicles (EVs) produces zero tailpipe emissions, significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving air quality. When paired with V2Grid technology, the EV amplifies its environmental impact by facilitating the integration of renewable energy sources into the grid. This synergy between EVs and renewable energy promotes a cleaner, more sustainable future.
Cost Savings
V2Grid technology offers substantial financial benefits for EV owners. By selling excess electricity stored in the vehicle's battery back to the grid during peak demand periods, owners can earn revenue. This additional income helps offset the costs of vehicle ownership and charging, making the transition to electric vehicles more economically viable.
Resilience
V2Grid-equipped EVs to serve as reliable backup power sources during grid outages or emergencies. By providing critical electricity to homes, businesses, or even entire communities, V2Grid technology enhances energy resilience and disaster preparedness. This capability ensures that essential services remain operational during power disruptions, contributing to greater community safety and stability.
