This extra electricity demand could be a major strain on the grid unless the charging of vehicles is coordinated. But the large batteries in electric vehicles could also be enlisted to discharge power to the power grid when needed.
Vehicle-to-grid system proved successful in a real-world test during a grid emergency, with electric vehicles discharging power when generators disconnected, highlighting the importance of smarter charging strategies.
The average electric vehicle battery stores more than two days worth of household electricity, showing potential for electric vehicles to have a significant impact on grid support during emergencies.
Chargers were programmed to discharge short bursts of power to the national grid during emergencies, as demonstrated during a storm event that disconnected power generation, showcasing the effectiveness of vehicle-to-grid technology.
