Experts Highlight Collaboration and Innovation as Crucial for Advancing Vehicle-to-Grid Technology

The discussion on vehicle grid integration underscores the importance of market design and regulation in incentivizing consumer engagement, especially given the high upfront costs associated with electric vehicles (EVs) and bidirectional chargers. Gabrielle stresses that EU-level standardization is essential for promoting these conditions. Gianluca addresses concerns about value stacking and shrinking margins similar to those seen in solar deployment but notes stability in auxiliary services markets despite low prices due to competition between renewables and batteries. Jörg highlights various charging scenarios like home-based or fleet systems, emphasizing emotional factors influencing user adoption beyond business models; a German study indicates significant homeowner interest in bidirectional capabilities driven by emotional connections alongside monetization strategies. Øystein discusses challenges related to destination charging incentives but sees opportunities within hosting associations where model implementation is key. The conversation also covers infrastructure challenges such as outdated equipment hindering effective demand load management (DLM), stressing collaboration among stakeholders like hardware vendors Subtech and Ompeco for improved cloud-based solutions, while Bart from Avere emphasizes cross-European cooperation for advancing vehicle-to-grid technology through standardized protocols like OCPP without reinventing efforts globally.

Talk of session: V1X and V2X Business Models Integrating Grids and Electric Vehicles

Electric vehicles are more than clean transport. They are key to the distributed energy ecosystem. Unlocking their potential requires smart (V1X) and bidirectional (V2X) charging, both essential for seamless grid integration and maximizing the value of electric vehicles as flexible energy assets.Such solutions help EV owners cut costs and generate revenue while enabling grid operators to manage congestion, enhance stability, and support a cleaner energy transition.This session will explore business models for cost-effective V1X and V2X integration, focusing on grid-EV interaction and demand-side management in residential and commercial settings.
