Nissan to launch low-cost Vehicle to Grid technology in 2026: Nissan announced it will launch affordable on-board bi-directional charging on selected electric vehicles starting in 2026. The Vehicle to Grid (V2G) technology allows EV owners to use electricity stored in their car’s battery to power their homes or sell it back to the grid. This technology will first launch in the UK, with plans to expand to other European markets. Nissan reports that its extensive experience in V2G includes around 40 pilot projects conducted worldwide over the past decade.

The addition of EVs and PHEVs to a grid that is experiencing rapid electrification will require a coordinated connected ecosystem. A new level of collaboration between the Utility and Automotive industries would benefit both sectors. However, there can be a win-win relationship only if the two industries collaborate, plan and invest symbiotically.  #EVs #PHEVS #automotive #connected #utility

United States - Transportation News from Maryland Toyota North America and energy utility Pepco are teaming up to research vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology for battery electric vehicles (BEVs) using a Toyota bZ4X. V2G technology may improve energy reliability and resilience, integrate renewables, and reduce electricity costs. This collaboration aims to understand EV owners' needs and habits to drive widespread adoption of V2G technology. Maryland is targeting 300,000 EVs on the road by 2025 and has passed legislation to develop interconnection processes for bidirectional chargers. The research will take place at Pepco’s Watershed Sustainability Center in Maryland. Toyota currently offers two mass-market BEVs and has plans for new three-row BEV SUVs by 2030. #icws #v2g #ev #charginginfrastructure #maryland #legislation #battery #bidirectionalcharger Read more: https://lnkd.in/e3mQf4c7

🔋 EV Batteries Outlasting Vehicles? It’s Happening! 🚗💨 Recent studies show EV batteries are going the distance—literally. 📊 On average, they degrade by just 1.8% per year, meaning many batteries could last 20+ years—well beyond the typical lifespan of the vehicle itself (12-15 years). 🌍 This could be a game-changer for the renewable energy sector! 💡 Not only can we expect less waste, but there are opportunities for repurposing these batteries for home or business energy storage. 💼🏠 As battery tech improves, we're reducing degradation anxiety and paving the way for a greener future.

🚗 Improving Efficiency with Supercapacitors in Automotive Design The automotive industry is finding practical ways to make vehicles more efficient. Mazda’s i-ELOOP system is a strong example, combining start-stop technology with supercapacitors to capture and reuse energy. 🔋 Key Points Start-Stop Systems: Save fuel by shutting off the engine when idle and restarting it smoothly. Supercapacitors: Handle rapid energy transfer during braking and power vehicle electronics efficiently. Mazda i-ELOOP: Stores energy from braking in capacitors, powering electronics and cutting engine load, improving fuel economy by up to 10%. 💡 What’s Next? Advances in supercapacitor technology could make energy storage faster and more reliable for urban transport. At Volfpack Energy, we’re working to bring these technologies to more industries. Let’s talk about what’s possible. #AutomotiveTech #EnergyStorage #Supercapacitors

Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) is certainly a big part of our energy and transportation future. The ability to power a single household for about four days on an electric vehicle battery suggests that they can form the backbone of our grid. The integration of electric vehicles (EVs) with the power grid presents an exciting opportunity for a sustainable energy future. With EV sales in Australia soaring to over 8% of new car sales, we are witnessing a significant shift towards cleaner transportation. The concept of "vehicle-to-grid" technology is set to transform the way we think about energy consumption and production. By allowing EVs to feed excess energy back into the grid, we can create a more resilient and responsive energy network. Imagine thousands of EV batteries working together to support the grid during peak demand times, stabilizing supply, and even reducing costs for consumers. This innovative approach not only helps balance the grid but also maximizes the use of renewable energy sources like solar. Software development now encourages EV owners to charge during off-peak hours and discharge during peak times, which can harness the full potential of our renewable resources. While challenges remain, such as consumer willingness to participate, the benefits of V2G are clear: a more efficient energy system, lower electricity costs, and a significant reduction in carbon footprints. As history has shown, technological advancements often outpace our initial concerns, and we are poised to make this vision a reality. Let’s embrace the potential of vehicle-to-grid technology and drive towards a sustainable future together. www.terrypaule.com #VehicleToGrid #ElectricVehicles #SustainableEnergy #Innovation #FutureOfTransport #TerryPaule

In Maryland, a partnership between Toyota North America and local utility Pepco is exploring vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology using the Toyota bZ4X. 👀 This tech uses bidirectional power flow, allowing electric vehicles (EVs) to both charge from and supply power back to the grid. 🤝⚡️ Since about 80 percent of EV owners already charge at home during off-peak hours, V2G has the potential to change how we use energy. It could help incorporate more renewable energy sources and might even lower electricity bills during busy periods. This all ties into Maryland’s DRIVE Act, which aims to have 300,000 EVs on the road by 2025. 🤩 Read more from Randi Bentia's story at the link below! 🙌 https://lnkd.in/gMxisjdZ #ElectrifyNews #EV #ElectricVehicle #ElectricSUV #ElectricCar
