UK Considers Incentivizing Carmakers to Equip EVs to Supply Energy to Grids
The United Kingdom is considering wide-scale vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology adoption as a means of supplementing its energy supplies. Electric cars equipped with this technology essentially become mobile power plants capable of feeding energy into the grid. While some modern EVs come equipped with V2G capabilities, the vast majority of the electric cars on the road don’t have this technology. EVs with V2G capabilities automatically charge when demand for electricity is low and prices are cheap, typically overnight while people sleep, and can sell some of this energy to the grid when energy demand peaks between 5-9pm. V2G limits the strain…
