This Awesome Tech Shouldn’t Die With The Nissan LEAF - Vehicle To Grid Explained
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 июл 2024
- The Nissan LEAF and its CHAdeMO port were early adopters of a technology known as Vehicle 2 Grid, which has been utilized by startups like Fermata Energy to use electric cars as battery storage for power grids - theoretically passing money onto owners. Max explains this tech and how it might find its way into Tesla NACS or CCS-equipped vehicles in the future.

I read somewhere that V2L/G is a legal requirement in Japan, Korea and China where they suffer from Typhoons/Hurricanes and earthquakes where the grid can go down for weeks while cables get repaired so having V2G or V2L means people can power their houses in the meantime.
I love my Nissan Leaf! And, I think it's cool that an "old technology" EV can do something the newer, cooler EVs can't do! My main concern right now is that the clamor for NACS support will accelerate the demise of Chademo fast charging. I have a feeling that charging networks will start deploying chargers where the two options are NACS and CCS removing Chademo as an option and leaving Leaf owners to fend for themselves. The Leaf is a great car, and I hope to use mine for many years to come!
VTG capability means you charge at off peak and sell power back to the grid for a higher price. This could reduce your cost of ownership. It is also nice to have back up power available. EV's can really help the grid by charging at off peak times.
V2G has been utilized in Europe but I'm not aware of any utility doing this in the USA other than perhaps a pilot program. It has great potential and could help with a number of issues, particularly peak shaving and frequency control. Most people have no comprehension of the grid and the MASSIVE machine network behind their electricity delivered to them but I'd love a deep dive, perhaps Fermata and dcbel (in Canada) might provide some details of their endeavors in North America.
There are a few trials happening, but just a few.
I like the information your providing. But I was just getting motion sickness, from all the moving around with the camara.
I have grid-tied solar, and I'd gladly buy a Leaf with bidirectional charging (although I already have a Bolt) primarily as a battery for my house. However, I don't think I can get a V2X charger for CHADEMO in the US, or at least not for a decent price. I know that my Bolt doesn't support V2X, but that seems like there should be an upgrade to get it working somehow...
I want one of these for my Kia Soul :)
After 10.5 years and 500 supercharge sessions, our Tesla still has 90% battery capacity.
Liar
I see a problem with this technology.
If you buy a used EV that has been used for vehicle to grid, the battery will be more degraded than you can know.
For example, you could buy a car with 10,000 miles on the clock and think that the battery has been charged and discharged a 120 times but if used in a grid-tie system the battery may have been charged and discharged 500 times.
This will be a big problem for trading standards especially as the battery the most expensive part of the car.
It is WAY cheaper to have a car that can do VTG than buying batteries at home. Buy a car, get free home batteries!
V2L is one thing, but there's no way I'd sign up for any kind of V2G.
