Imagine your electric car as a giant battery on wheels that can give power back to the house or the city when the grid is stressed. This project makes that possible by creating a smart system that coordinates when cars charge and discharge. It turns a potential power grid overload into a helpful tool for balancing green energy.
Electric vehicle growth threatens to overload power grids and increase household electricity consumption by 80%. Current systems lack the coordination and standards needed to use EVs as flexible energy assets.
A suite of user-centric V2X products, AI-driven optimization tools for charging, and multi-actor orchestration mechanisms for data exchange between grid operators and EV users.
If you are a DSO dealing with grid congestion and expensive network upgrades — this project developed orchestration tools that could save up to 1.3B€ per country in grid reinforcement costs.
If you are an OEM dealing with low user adoption of smart charging — this project developed user-centric V2X experiences and standardized interfaces to make vehicle-to-grid features easy and attractive for drivers.
If you are a CPO dealing with inefficient energy use and high peak loads — this project developed AI digital tools and optimization strategies to manage charging loads and integrate local renewable energy.
Based on available project data, the solutions aim to avoid grid reinforcement costs by up to 1.3B€ per country through the use of EV flexibility.
The project is validating solutions across 5 demonstrations, including 3 large-scale demos in CZ, IE, IT, DK, and ES, to ensure they are replicable and scalable.
Based on available project data, specific licensing terms are not mentioned, but the project focuses on promoting harmonization and standardization to facilitate adoption.
The project works across 9 countries and involves TSOs and DSOs to deliver enabling policies and regulations for V2X services.
The project specifically targets technology interoperability and standardization to ensure seamless integration across the value chain.
The consortium is heavily industry-driven with a 67% industry ratio (20 out of 30 partners). It covers the entire value chain from OEMs and CPOs to TSOs and DSOs across 9 countries, which significantly reduces the gap between research and commercial application.
