V2G Finds
The most impactful, fact-driven knowledge from across the web
PG&E and GM Bundle Home Charging, Managed Charging and Bidirectional-Ready Hardware
PG&E and GM Energy have launched a new Smart Charge Bundle that brings home charging and utility managed charging directly into the EV purchase process. The PowerShift option also gives the bundle a bidirectional dimension. When paired with compatible GM vehicles and additional GM Energy equipment, the charger can support vehicle-to-home .
China Expands V2G Trials as It Targets 50 GW of Vehicle-Grid Flexibility
Vehicle-to-grid deployment is expanding across China as policymakers move toward large-scale use of bidirectional charging and smart EV charging. A recent Shanghai V2G exercise reached 34.6 MW of peak response capacity, with privately owned chargers accounting for most discharge session.
Australian Startup Tests Lower-Cost V2G Using Existing Solar Inverters
Australian startup Merge Energy is developing a V2G device designed to let EV owners use their existing rooftop-solar inverter rather than installing a dedicated bidirectional charger.
It’s Electric Eyes Bidirectional Charging for Urban Curbside Network
Brooklyn-based it’s electric, recently selected to deploy 700 curbside charging points across New York City, is also developing a bidirectional version of its charger through a $1.1 million California Energy Commission-funded project.
UL Solutions Opens Certification Path for AC Bidirectional EV Charging
UL Solutions has launched certification testing for bidirectional EV charging equipment under the new UL 1741 Supplement SC standard, creating a formal U.S. pathway for AC vehicle-to-grid systems.
