Last week, Volkswagen Group’s Elli launched its V2G service in Germany. Vehicle to Grid (V2G) means that an EV can charge off the grid and also feed energy back into the grid when needed. I had briefly mentioned the launch in key takeaways from InterSolar/Power2Drive, but it deserves a deeper exploration. The new service seems well thought through and developed. Not only did effort go into being user-friendly, but also in providing a direct benefit to customers.
According to Elli CEO Giovanni Palazzo:
We are observing a fundamental shift in the way we connect mobility and energy for the first time. On the car manufacturer side, for the first time in over 100 years, we are given something back to customers, which is an actual revenue proposition.
