My V2X EV: Informing strategic electric vehicle integration

摘要: The uptake of electric vehicles (EVs) in Australia is expected to increase dramatically in the coming years. Uncontrolled charging of these EVs could lead to substantial growth in electricity demand during peak times, putting the already stressed grid under further pressure. Future EV models are expected to be equipped with “vehicle-to-everything”(V2X) technology (eg vehicle-to-grid (V2G) and vehicle-to-home (V2H)), which can support households and the grid through bi-directional charging when required. Developing a regulated V2X system can mitigate the challenges of high EV and high renewable energy generation penetration.Despite potential advantages, implementing V2X has several technical, market and regulatory challenges. Standardising every aspect of EV-integrated infrastructure is essential for its efficient operation. This report provides i) the findings of the consultation undertaken on managed charging to inform the design of future demonstration projects, and ii) a summary of factors related to EV-grid integration to create initial recommendations for a pathway towards this integration. Costs and benefits of V2X
