E-mobility company Revel, clean energy developer NineDot Energy, and V2X services provider Fermata Energy are collaborating on V2G technologies that could support grid reliability and send power back to the grid using the energy in parked EVs.
Project Description
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. The partnership takes advantage of Revel’s fleet of electric rideshare vehicles, which they own, operate, and charge at their fast charging Superhub in Brooklyn. The initial pilot will be located in Red Hook, Brooklyn, with three DC chargers that will export nearly 50kW to the grid, the equivalent of powering 50 homes. The project will utilize Fermata Energy’s bidirectional charging stations and software to return the energy stored in an EV back to the electric grid. Testing will begin this winter, with the exporting of power beginning in the spring.
