- The secret to a better grid? Electric vehicles.
Electric vehicles (EVs) with vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology can send energy back to the grid during peak demand, creating a revenue stream for drivers. A coalition including Eversource, National Grid, and others is launching a V2G pilot in Massachusetts to enhance grid reliability and reduce electricity costs.
- Electric vehicles can ride to the grid’s rescue
Electric vehicles (EVs) could serve as backup batteries for the grid through vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology, according to a study published in Nature. Proper installation of V2G systems could enhance grid resilience during energy shortages.
