E.ON And Nissan Are Launching New V2G Trial Project In The UK

20 bidirectional chargers were already installed and now they are recruiting further participants for the trial to deploy more chargers.

Nissan, in partnership with E.ON, recently deployed 20 vehicle-to-grid (V2G) chargers at its European Technical Centre in Cranfield, UK as part of a new trial project co-funded by Innovate UK.

In this particular project, one of the key points is to demonstrate “a profitable and sustainable solution for business fleets”, which can sign in with its CHAdeMO-compatible EVs (like LEAF or e-NV200), deploy a V2G charger, and get about £308 (€341/$405) per year (an equivalent of electricity for about 10,000 miles*) for sharing the battery capacity during the day.

The recruitment for participants (businesses and organizations) across the UK is underway. Because it’s a trial project, the V2G package will be offered at “a heavily subsidized price”.
