EV drivers to sell energy to National Grid

How can an electric vehicle (EV) support the UK’s grid when it needs it most?

In February, ELN reported that a ‘vehicle to grid’ trial part-funded by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy and the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles was launched to explore the role of EV batteries in balancing the future ‘smart grid’.

Nearly 135 Octopus Energy customers, who owned Nissan LEAF cars took part in this pilot project.
