The event was essential for the whole direction of our project, so we also want to share some of the key takeaways from it:
1. V2G’s Impact on Emissions and Climate Goals
One of the major discussion points was how Vehicle-to-Grid can support decarbonization. According to recent studies, just one EV integrated with V2G technology can reduce emissions by up to 96 kg of CO₂ annually. Scaled to 100,000 vehicles, this results in a reduction comparable to the annual carbon footprint of 1,200 Europeans.
2. Economic Potential for EV Owners
The event also addressed the financial upside of V2G. When used optimally, a single EV can generate up to €780 per year. This opens the door for more users to actively engage in the energy transition while also gaining direct financial benefits.
3. V2G as a Tool for Grid Stabilization
V2G can serve as a flexible asset in the energy infrastructure, helping to balance electricity production and consumption. It can relieve pressure on the grid during peak periods and stabilize it, which is becoming increasingly important as electricity demand continues to grow while remaining unpredictable.
V2X clearly has a place in the future of energy and we’re glad to contribute to its integration. The knowledge we gained (from technology updates and market developments to legal frameworks and experiences from other pilot projects) will help guide the V4Grid consortium in turning the theory into reality.
