The vision of Electric Vehicles (EVs) providing energy back into the grid is one that has captivated people since the re-emergence of EVs and the rise of the Smart Grid. In this vision, EV owners, electricity network operators and society more generally share the benefits of smoothing the peaks and troughs of electricity demand and improving EV battery utilization. Whilst technical obstacles remain, the greatest limitations are those presented by electricity market rules. Within existing frameworks, charging can be managed according to network needs for widespread benefit. And more immediately, vehicles can supply emergency back-up power or act as local storage for renewable energy through interactions that take place behind the electricity meter. Successful deployment of these scenarios will serve as a stepping stone towards the future vision of EVs as grid storage.
