What if your car could provide power back – to your home, the building you work in or to the entire power grid? With bidirectional charging, this is no longer the future, but technology that is making its way into everyday life.
In this digital lecture, you will get a simple and concrete introduction to how it works – and why it is relevant to you. We go through the terms V2G (Vehicle-to-Grid), V2H (Vehicle-to-Home) and V2B (Vehicle-to-Building), and show how the electric car's battery can be used smarter than just for charging.
You'll also gain insight into how a single solution can meet multiple needs: saving on electricity costs at home at night, while providing flexibility to the grid when demand is low.
This is the lecture for those who are curious about new technology, energy-smart solutions and how the electric car can become an important part of the energy system of the future.
Jan Tore Gjøby, who takes us through this lecture, is an advisor in electric mobility and smart energy solutions. He has owned an electric car and worked with charging infrastructure since 2011. He chairs the Norwegian Electrotechnical Committee (NEK), technical committee NK 69 for standardization of electric car charging, and has extensive experience with courses for electrical professionals and the automotive industry on charging.
