Turning EVs into mobile microgrids

Electric mobility company Revel, clean energy developer NineDot Energy, and leading vehicle-to-everything (V2X) technology services provider, Fermata Energy, today announced a new partnership focused on testing V2G technology and operations. V2G has the potential to play a major role in supporting grid reliability by using the batteries in fleets of electric vehicles (EVs) to supply energy back to the grid during times of peak electricity demand. This technology could also be crucial to expanding the adoption of solar and wind by acting as a source of backup power when the sun goes down or when the wind stops blowing. Revel is the first electric mobility company to deploy V2G technology.

5G Feeds V2G using energy when you need it from parked EVs

Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) proved successful in powering New Lab's 5G Studio, in Brooklyn, using Verizon's 5G network. The results were announced today during a virtual demo day. Fermata Energy installed a bidirectional charger and used their proprietary V2X energy management software to perform V2X activities with a Nissan LEAF using 5G technology. With the charger connected to Newlab's building energy load, their testing compared peak shaving and load balancing operations of the electric grid between 4G and 5G, proving 5G's ability to react to changes in the grid based on real-time data and with very low latency.
