Recording of Thursday, May 08, 2025 | The smarter E Europe Exhibition Program 2025 | Exhibition Program | Language: English | Duration: 10:03 .
The presentation discusses the development and implementation of a Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) commercial product, launched in collaboration with Renault. The speaker highlights the potential of electric vehicles (EVs), emphasizing their current abundance on roads and untapped flexibility. The V2G system allows EV owners to earn money by plugging into bidirectional charging stations like Mobilize Verso wallbox, which are integrated with MyRenault app for user convenience. A case study from France illustrates how an EV owner drove 1,100 kilometers at minimal cost due to this service's financial incentives. Challenges include standardization issues across chargers and communication protocols such as ISO 15118-20 and OCPP; regulatory hurdles like double taxation in Germany; smart metering requirements; interface compatibility among various stakeholders including utilities; and OEM permissions for vehicle discharge capabilities. Despite these challenges, partnerships with automotive companies like Mercedes-Benz aim to expand services beyond France into markets such as Germany and the UK. Ultimately, through aggregation platforms modeling asset flexibility alongside trading strategies focused on day-ahead/intraday markets, they strive towards achieving zero-cost driving while benefiting energy systems globally.
