A major trial to test vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology will receive government funding in Australia, allowing up to 130 electric commercial vehicles to feed stored energy back into the power grid. The initiative aims to explore how electric fleets—such as delivery vans and buses—could support grid stability by supplying excess battery power during peak demand. Backed by federal and state partnerships, the project will assess real-world feasibility, economic benefits, and technical challenges of integrating V2G systems into Australia’s energy network. Industry observers see potential for broader adoption if the trial demonstrates cost-effective and reliable grid support from electric vehicle fleets.
