V2G stands for Vehicle-to-grid and describes the relationship between electric vehicles and the grid. When the electric vehicle is not in use, the electricity from the on-board battery is sold to the grid system. If the on-board battery needs to be charged, the current flows from the grid to the vehicle. V2G is possible for pure electric vehicles (BEVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs). as most vehicles are parked 95% of the time, the on-board battery can be used as a distributed energy storage unit.
As V2G technology bottlenecks continue to break through, V2G will become an important fulcrum for China's energy transition, and as a new business area, what new business opportunities will emerge? One of the values of V2G technology is to use a parked electric vehicle as a mobile distributed energy storage unit, enabling a two-way flow of energy (charging and discharging) between the electric vehicle and the grid, and alleviating the increasing pressure on the grid to supply electricity.
From the grid's perspective, V2G technology plays a key role in solving the "peak and valley reduction" energy storage solution, regulating the grid load and improving grid efficiency. In addition, through the coordinated operation of vehicle-grid interaction, pure electric vehicles can also serve as a mobile, distributed energy storage facility, improving the operational efficiency and resource allocation capacity of the grid, enhancing the capacity of clean energy consumption, and further promoting the energy revolution.
From the perspective of vehicle owners and consumers, charging and storing electricity at a lower price in the low season, and delivering electricity to the grid at a higher price in the peak season, is equivalent to "selling" electricity to the grid, and the difference in price between the low and high season can bring certain economic benefits to vehicle owners, thus further reducing the charging costs of electric vehicle owners.
In this way, the use of V2G technology may in turn become an environmentally friendly and energy-saving solution for society and the industry, bringing a huge positive effect. Recently the Ministry of Industry reiterated the implementation of the "New Energy Vehicle Industry Development Plan (2021-2035)", which mentions targeting the direction of "electrification, networking and intelligence", and how to make the charging network more intelligent is a new model for the development of charging piles that will be generated by the new infrastructure. V2G technology is the cutting-edge technology in this direction.
