The V4Grid project aims to transform the existing Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) technology that facilitate the integration of electric vehicles into the power grid into a fully functional service in Central Europe. Utilizing transnational cooperation, the V4Grid consortium will focus on maximizing the potential of V2X technology, which encompasses Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G), Vehicle-to-Building (V2B), and Vehicle-to-Home (V2H) functionalities.
V2X technology holds immense potential for the "new energy" landscape. Through this innovative approach, electric vehicles will be able to actively support the energy grid, contributing to a more sustainable and efficient energy ecosystem. Through V2X, electric vehicles can communicate with charging stations and the grid, optimizing charging times, reducing energy costs and even supply surplus energy back to the grid.
"We are honored to be leading the V4Grid consortium and working with partners across Central Europe. This project has the potential to create a space for the real utilization of V2X technology in the energy sector. The active participation of electric vehicles in the energy market and the utilization of V2X technology will pave the way for a more sustainable, efficient, and integrated energy future for Central Europe," stated Juraj Krajcár, Member of the Board of Directors at ZSE
The V4Grid consortium will install a total of 18 V2X chargers at 15 pilot locations in 4 Central European countries and 7 regions. It will also develop comprehensive business models and recommendations for key stakeholders.
Over the next 30 months, comprehensive data collection and analysis will be conducted, followed by the development and implementation of V2X services in the participating countries. This joint effort will contribute to a more integrated and intelligent energy system and create the prerequisites for a future, where electric vehicles will play a key role in grid stability and energy flow management.
