Apparently it’s less about “powering” as much as it is about stabilizing. When we go from huge coal/nuclear turbines to wind power there’s a need to quickly ramp up/down power to the grid to keep the frequency within a certain range. V2G would be used for that, and would then only increase/decrease battery charge within single percentage digits.
I have a car with V2G support but the infrastructure is not here (Sweden) yet, so my electrical provider does pay me when charging is not done or done to help the grid, but cannot move electricity in the other direction yet.
Interesting! I didn’t know there are cars in the market able to handle V2G in accordance with the standard. What brand is that? For any large organisation with lots of cars, like a community, flexibility services for a hundred cars or so would add up quickly.
We need to move to Huddiksvall. There seems to be a city where its possible😁 But come to think of it, it all takes place from “behind the meter”, so with a connection that allows for solar power, the utility should be none-the-wiser.

I have a VW ID.7, I think all their new cars do.
