Another way to see it : cars are parked about 95% of the time. If you allow V2G for 5 million cars to deliver 7 kW each to the grid, they can power the country

Another way to see it : cars are parked about 95% of the time.
If you allow V2G for 5 million cars to deliver 7 kW each to the grid, they can power the country for about 7 hours with zero other mean of electricty production - assuming a 50 kWh battery in the car.
A 50 kWh car will power a typical home for a few days to a few weeks for energy efficient homes.
When full electrification of cars is done the grid will look very very different.
- MertsA 6y agoEven if you completely ignore V2G and look solely at load shedding via deferred charging if most of the energy requirements of the transportation sector were met with battery electric vehicles that's a massive chunk of power that can be deferred.
