Electric vehicles are not just means of transportation, they are also mobile energy storage sources. The battery on the vehicle can be charged during off peak hours and feedback energy to the grid when needed, providing important flexibility for the power system.
This technology, known as Vehicle to Grid (V2G), enables electric vehicles to become a controllable load on the grid, enhancing the stability of the grid and optimizing the allocation of energy resources. In addition, the widespread deployment of electric vehicles also helps to absorb more renewable energy, reduce dependence on fossil fuels, and promote low-carbon economic development.
With the advancement of battery technology and the improvement of charging infrastructure, the role of electric vehicles as mobile energy storage units will increasingly become apparent, bringing new opportunities and challenges to the energy industry.
