Driving the Future of Energy: Welcome to the World of V2G
Ahead of Nissan's Vehicle-to-Grid [V2G] technology launching on selected electric vehicles from 2026, starting in the UK and expanding to markets in Europe, there is no better time to learn how it can save you money and play a crucial role in reducing society's dependency on fossil fuels.
V2G technology allows EV owners to use electricity stored in their car's battery to power their homes or sell it back to the grid. Through the use of on-board bi-directional smart charging technology, this will allow you to cut the annual cost of powering an EV by 50%* - saving yourself money and increasing the mix of renewables in your local energy supply.
Nissan is leading the way with this innovative technology thanks to our successful trial at The University of Nottingham. Following a year-long project, we're the first car company to achieve UK G99 Grid code certification, needed to supply AC electricity into your local energy supply.
We're committed to democratising our V2G technology so that as many of our drivers as possible can reap its benefits. The video below features experts and customers involved in the trial discussing the technology and its day-to-day benefits, underscoring our commitment to bringing V2G to consumers in a practical, accessible way for all.
The technology we are bringing to customers is a potential game-changer for how we view the car. Not just as a means of getting from A to B, but as a mobile energy storage unit, capable of saving our customers money, supporting the transition of our energy systems away from fossil fuels and bringing us closer to a carbon-free future.
Making a fully integrated EV ecosystem a reality is a key pillar within Nissan's new business plan, The Arc, which serves as a bridge to the company's long-term Ambition 2030 vision. Nissan aims to become a truly sustainable company, and in the Africa, Middle East, India, Europe and Oceania region (AMIEO) is using its unique diversity to drive locally-focused action and scalable solutions that contribute to a cleaner, safer and more inclusive world for everyone.
