GSES – Vehicle to Grid

With more people realising the potential of Electric Vehicles (EVs) as portable power stations, “vehicle-to-grid” is fast becoming one of the hottest topics of discussion within the industry. From sleek lines and silent engines, these batteries on wheels can be much more than luxury cars — they could be part of the solution for a 100% renewable energy grid.

The Vehicle-to-Grid sprint course is relevant for anyone wishing to develop their technical understanding of EVs. It provides a look into the current technologies in place, the vehicles that can facilitate vehicle-to-grid, and the future of vehicle-to-grid as the industry moves forward. It also discusses vehicle-to-grid charging and the opportunities this brings to consumers and the overall energy market.
