V2X (Vehicle-to-everything)

A technology that allows the battery of an electric car to provide general backup power in the case of an outage.


V2H (Vehicle-to-home)

A technology that allows the battery of an electric vehicle to power an entire home (or other building of similar size). This is a bi-directional system with the power to convert energy between AC supply and electric car battery.


V2G (Vehicle-to-grid)

V2G is a new smart charging technology that can push the energy stored in electric cars’ batteries back to the power grid. As we’re increasingly relying on renewable energies to power the grid, V2G is the technology that will stabilise the grid when the energy produced via renewable solar or wind sources can’t meet the demand.
