A bit more info guys on where we might be going with wireless charging and V2G. It is from America but most of the tech will be made available world wide.
Is this the future of charging and powering the grid?
There’s a plethora of new innovations driving the transportation industry forward – from electric power, to LiDAR, to next-gen GPS and everything in between. While these technologies are propelling us into a new era of mobility that’s electric, the boom in electric vehicles (EVs) may strain the power grid. In fact, a recent study done in Texas by Wood Mackenzie found that simultaneous charging of just 60,000 EVs could threaten the entire state’s power grid. Based on a 100-kilowatt-hr EV battery with a five-minute charge time, demand from 60,000 cars charging at once would equate to 70 gigawatts – equal to the peak demand for the Electric Reliability Council of Texas.The accelerated global adoption of EVs expected to happen within the next few years – 559 million will be on the road by 2040 according to Bloomberg New Energy Finance – will have a heavy impact on the electrical grid that we all rely on to power our vehicles, homes and gadgets. Global electricity demand will increase 57% by 2050, with China & India, the Middle East & Southeast Asia, increasing population, GDP growth and enhanced access to electricity leading to a doubling of demand. But what if we could turn that impact into a positive? Through vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology, otherwise known as bi-directional charging, it can make handling this increased peak demand possible.

Couple of things!
Electricity demand is definitely going to go up they are banning new house builds from having gas in 2025!
Using your car to power the grid at peak times sounds good but…… “I” am very wary about having a smart home charger with a sim card in it. Because I think this is how they will tax your vehicles electricity and I would much prefer to just trickle charge mine using the granny charger on economy 7. Already got a smart socket ready to do this.?
Shawn I hadn’t heard of the gas ban and I think its a big mistake as there is a fuel cell that converts gas to electricity efficiently and without ANY emissions. If you type in Ceres power to a search engine it will pop up, and the added bonus is they are an English company.
I hear what you say about getting a smart meter but without it V2G won’t be available to you and they say its worth £200-300 per year to those who have it.
