Volkswagen and its subsidiary Elli are set to revolutionize the way electric vehicle (EV) batteries interact with the grid. The companies are launching a Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) offer, allowing EV owners to monetize their vehicles' batteries as a source of energy storage for the grid. This innovative technology enables EV owners to sell excess energy back to the grid during peak hours, providing a stable and renewable source of power. By leveraging the collective capacity of millions of EVs, Volkswagen aims to create a decentralized energy network that could significantly reduce strain on the grid and promote sustainable energy consumption.
