Abstract

Electric Vehicles, especially electric vehicles with bidirectional Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) connectivity, can serve as electric energy storage assets. Following the dramatic increase in electric vehicle registrations in 2022 there can be little doubt that electric vehicles will become a major portion of the entire light duty personal transportation fleet. This paper endeavours to project the growing electric energy storage capability of this asset. It shows that the storage available from the EV fleet may grow to match the daily output of projected solar PV generation in the 2025-30 time period, and greatly exceed the requirements of the EV fleet itself. This presents the possibility of a massive renewable generation capability, levelled and controlled by an even more massive electric vehicle fleet energy storage capability which can offset its intermittent and uncontrolled nature, as a future zero emission energy grid.
