Regulatory and Consumer Dynamics in Vehicle-to-Grid Technologies

The regulatory landscape for vehicle-to-home (V2H) technologies is currently favorable, enabling straightforward implementation. In contrast, vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technologies face significant regulatory obstacles, including double taxation issues and grid fees, particularly in Germany. Switzerland leads in adopting V2G, having exempted double fees and allowing efficient integration for business-to-business (B2B) consumers. These technologies provide economic advantages by enabling fleet operators to sell excess electricity and participate in ancillary services markets. Consumer demand is crucial for driving industry innovation, with a growing emphasis on simplifying the user experience of electric vehicle (EV) charging. Customers prioritize convenience over cost savings and prefer customizable options to ensure vehicles are always available. As electric fleets transition to bidirectional capabilities, anticipated advancements in education and consumer engagement will play a key role in optimizing the adoption of these technologies across Europe.

Talk of session: Scaling EV Flexibility: Technical Progress, Economic Potential, Enabling Policy

The accelerating deployment of electric vehicles (EVs) and renewable energy is creating new challenges for grid stability. Smart and bidirectional charging can help balance the system while offering value to EV owners. The International Energy Agency will outline the benefits, global progress and remaining barriers to vehicle to grid (V2G) technology deployment, followed by insights from the German National Centre for Charging Infrastructure on regulatory developments. A panel of industry experts will then discuss business models, pilot results, technology advances and the role of interoperability in scaling EV flexibility solutions.
