What Is Vehicle-to-Grid Technology and How Does It Work?

EV Connect

Yet it places unprecedented demand on our electrical grid. Department of Energy (DOE), the growing demand from plug-in electric vehicles and many other technologies that require electricity could increase the load on our power grids by up to 38% by 2050. What Is Vehicle-to-Grid Technology? home for a day.

Power is transferred by creating a magnetic resonance field between the transmitting pad on the ground (wired to the grid) and a receiving pad fitted on the underside of the vehicle. The energy crosses an air gap (the ground clearance between the pads) and is then converted from AC into DC on the vehicle to charge the vehicle batteries.
