    ‘This week, Australia’s renewable energy agency released a V2G roadmap, which notes widespread uptake could “materially reduce electricity costs for consumers and accelerate national emissions reduction”….

    ‘…a V2G user was alerted by their energy retailer that power prices had spiked to over $20 per kilowatt hour – far above normal rates of 25–45 cents. They immediately set their car and home battery to sell power back to the grid. In two hours, they sold 28 kilowatt hours of power to the grid and made more than $560. As they told us: “I look forward to more such events.”

    ‘…to date, there’s no consensus showing V2G shortens the battery life of EVs significantly. One recent study shows it increases degradation by 0.3% a year. But another showed V2G might actually extend battery life in some scenarios…

    ‘We found battery warranty was a bigger concern than battery life. This is because most EV manufacturers other than Nissan don’t mention V2G in their battery warranties, leading drivers to believe they might void their warranty by using V2G.’

  2. @dantarian If BP Pulse also does contactless mostly I'll have to add it to the list if I do any longer trips that is if > do you know if they also support CHAdeMO❓ I am a #NissanLeaf #EV user and I gather most newer systems are settling on #CCS that is unless #Tesla borgs the world with it's NACS system providing they make it Bi-Directional as I think #VehicleToGrid will be big part of transfer to renewables.
