Vehicle-to-everything (V2X) Bi-directional Charging - Phase 1 IUK Competition Launched
24/03/2022
UK businesses and research organisations can access grant funding to enable energy flexibility from bi-directional electric vehicle charging prototype hardware, software or business models.
This Innovate UK (IUK) competition aims to facilitate an increase in vehicle-to-everything (V2X) capacity and further develop V2X technology and business model innovations. V2X can facilitate energy system flexibility by enabling the export of electricity from the batteries of EVs to other systems such as buildings, storage devices or the grid. The ambition is to provide flexibility to support integration of additional renewable generation at the lowest cost.
