Tesla ’s first-generation Roadster has the ability to output power from a battery pack to devices other than electric motors. This technology is commonly referred to as vehicle-to-grid (V2G) or vehicle-to-home technology, which allows electric vehicle owners to use battery packs for electric vehicles as Home power. However, Tesla has already abandoned this technology on its mass-market models.
According to foreign media reports, with the return of other automakers to this technology, Tesla's CEO (CEO) Elon Musk recently said that Tesla is also considering re-adopting this technology.
The advent of electric vehicles will increase electricity demand, but electric vehicles also offer some advantages by controlling electrical loads. A recent study showed that the controllable electrical load capabilities of electric vehicle fleets and vehicle-to-grid technology can save billions of dollars and enable the grid to make better use of renewable energy.
For years, Nissan has been testing different vehicle-to-grid (V2G) systems on Leaf electric vehicles. With the launch of the next-generation Leaf, Nissan has introduced a new electric vehicle (EV) ecosystem, including a plan to provide free power to electric vehicle owners who bring vehicles to the grid system, and all next-generation Leaf is equipped with vehicle-to-grid technology . As long as the electric car is connected to the smart charging pile, any electric car has the ability to control the load. By reducing charging demand during peak periods and charging only when charging demand is low, controllable loads can have a huge impact on the grid. But research shows that vehicle-to-grid technology, that is, the technology that can transfer car battery energy back to the grid through a two-way charger, will have a greater impact on the grid.
Tesla is now emerging as the largest electric vehicle manufacturer, and it already has the largest fleet of electric vehicles in terms of total energy capacity. The company has the potential to have the most far-reaching impact on controllable loads and vehicle-to-grid technology, but because it focuses on fixed battery systems for home energy storage, it now seems to have lost confidence in vehicle-to-grid technology.
On the evening of June 5, local time, Tesla CEO Elon Musk stated on Twitter that he was open to reusing vehicle-to-grid technology on Tesla cars. This is not the first time Tesla has talked about bringing vehicle-to-grid technology back to cars.
According to foreign media reports, Tesla has been considering plans for vehicles with two-way home charging stations to the grid. However, Musk and Tesla's Chief Technology Officer (CTO) JB Straubel at the Tesla 2016 Shareholders' General Meeting and the opening of the Tesla Super Battery Factory (CTO) expressed indifference to the idea and said it was not a priority matter.
