Growing Electric Vehicle Adoption to Drive the Global Vehicle to Grid Technology Market.

 

The global Vehicle to Grid Technology Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 119.1 Mn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 43% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.

Market Overview:
Vehicle to grid (V2G) technology involves the exchange of power between electric vehicles and the grid. It helps in utilizing electric vehicles as distributed energy storage systems when they are parked and connected to the grid. Vehicles equipped with bi-directional charging equipment can feed electricity stored in their batteries back to the grid during peak demand hours and help balance the distribution network. This provides the grid operator with flexibility and reduces stress on generation assets. The technology also monetizes parked electric vehicles by allowing owners to earn revenues by supplying power to the grid.

Market key trends:
One of the major trends pushing the adoption of V2G technology is the rapid growth in electric vehicle sales worldwide. Automakers are aggressively expanding their electric model lineups to meet government mandates for lower vehicular emissions. As more electric vehicles get added to the fleet each year, their decentralized storage capacity can be leveraged via V2G systems. Another significant trend is the development of robust ancillary service markets that value distributed energy resources. Increased participation of electric vehicles in these markets by providing functions like frequency regulation is incentivizing wider deployment of V2G infrastructure. Standardization of communication protocols between electric vehicles and the grid is also underway to facilitate seamless integration of this flexible load resource.

Porter’s Analysis

Threat of new entrants: The threat of new entrants is moderate due to the requirement of high capital investment and the dominance of existing key players.
