It has been reported recently in the United States that V2G is among the latest go-to word in the Electric Vehicle market and that is proving very accurate as the automakers continue to make the vehicle-to-grid announcements. Toyota Motor’s North American branch said on 15th of December that it is going to collaborate with Oncore electric delivery which is based in Texas on what is going to be a V2G pilot project which is going to capture energy from the Toyota Electric vehicles and will redirect it to power grid.
As per the Toyota Electric vehicles and its Charging Solutions team, they said that they are going to envision a future where the battery electric cars are going to provide a mobility experience which best in its class but also can be utilized by the customers to power the homes and communities and also power back the grid when the need will be there.
The ability is going to include the keeping of lights on and refrigerator humming in the blackouts. This capability is available as an extra on Ford F-150 Lightning and the Chevrolet Silverado electric vehicles.
For Oncor, it will be a first collaboration as it operates in the research and testing of microgrids in the South of Dallas which isn’t too far from the national headquarters of Toyota.
Toyota is going to continue experimenting with the Electric vehicles connected to the homes and businesses in service territory of Oncor. Toyota will have its first electric vehicle come in the form of bZ4X and it is going to be followed up with the Lexus RZ 450e in 2023.
Oncor has been in operation for a century and has been in Texas. This is a company which is very bullish on electric vehicles and how it will be a game changer for the electric vehicles.
