Click the thumbs up > Nissan, E.ON Drive and Imperial College London have published a whitepaper exploring the benefits of bi-directional charging electric vehicles (EVs). The whitepaper suggests that fleets using vehicle-to-grid (V2G) charging could could expect to cut electricity operating costs by up to £12,000 per annum per EV and reduce CO2 by approximately 60 tonnes per annuam per EV. Meanwhile, annual fleet V2G charging benefits could range between £700-£1,250 per vehicle, it says. It estimates an overall power system cost saving of £410m-£885m per year during the next decade fr...
