What if your EV could power your home or even support the national grid? That’s the idea behind V2G, or Vehicle-to-Grid technology.
In simple terms:
V2G allows electric vehicles to send electricity back to the power grid when needed. Your car becomes a mobile energy storage unit charging when power is cheap, and discharging when demand is high.
How It Works
- Smart Charger: A bidirectional charger enables two-way energy flow.
- Communication Protocol (like OCPP & ISO 15118): Lets your EV and grid “talk” securely.
- Energy Management System: Controls when to charge or discharge based on grid demand
Why It Matters
- ⚙️ Grid Stability: Helps balance energy supply during peak hours.
- 💰 Energy Savings: EV owners can earn credits by selling energy back to the grid.
- 🌱 Sustainability: Enables better use of renewable energy by storing excess solar or wind power.
V2G and the UAE’s Future With the UAE investing heavily in smart grids and renewable energy, V2G can play a pivotal role in achieving Net Zero 2050.
It transforms EVs from just vehicles into active energy partners part of a cleaner, more resilient energy ecosystem.
At VERDEXON, we’re exploring V2G-ready charger technology that empowers users and supports national sustainability goals.
