Welcome to the Community @Caveman

There is some discussion of V2G (vehicle to grid) in this site.

If you search V2G you should see some results.

Electric and Alternative Vehicle Fuels

Microgrids are small scale networks (most would be private) that join a few users together. If you want to go further you can have both a microgrid and a connection to the larger mainstream network. It is just a matter of setting up the connections so that both or individual circuits are supplied at any one time. As the article explains p2p can also be set up. It is being trialled by the larger players eg AGL and Origin but they would want to remain involved as they want to profit from the u…

Home battery storage (solar systems)

A further explanation of how V2G can be used and it’s potential to be one a large part of the National Electricity Grid. “An EV battery is three to four times the size of a standard battery seen on the side of a house,” And contains when fully charged sufficient energy to power the average Australian home for 2-3 days. It’s a very compelling argument for BEVs over hydrogen FCEVs for light and private vehicle ownership.

Network Charges to Export (Solar) to the Grid? Solar having an impact on 'Big Power'?

The ACT announced in July 2020 a trial of V2G (Vehicle to Grid) system to provide support for the grid. The trial proposes controlled off peak charging. Grid feedin is controlled when the vehicles are not in use to optimise benefits to the network. https://www.energynetworks.com.au/news/energy-insider/2020-energy-insider/could-vehicle-to-grid-accelerate-the-ev-revolution/

Fossil fuel subsidies

One would have to ask just how far $600M would go in supporting BEV uptake? In particular if it encouraged V2H options, which would a) provide storage capacity to offset peak demand in the evenings and high demand events. b) draw on low cost excess generation during the day and off peak evening periods. c) accelerate the cost return on the investment in the expensive batteries installed in a BEV. With every 100,000 BEV vehicles providing up to 3.6/7.2kW output and 40-60kWh capacity it is a…

Buying the Best Electric Vehicle - for your needs

Another way into the electric car revolution. Business owners and employees with leased car packages have had access to the benefits of all inclusive ownership for decades. The subscription service may best suit commuters or those with a regular daily drive that is big on fuel use. For now it has limited availability to those who enjoy living in Sydney and Melbourne over the age of 21. The all inclusive options start from $299 per week for a Nissan Leaf and $359 for the Hyundai Kona. Note: …
