Thank smart grids and Elli for that and learn what she does.
According to Volkswagen, electric cars are mobile power banks. Far from being negative, that means they will one day be an integral part of the energy grid system, helping to save renewable energy that would otherwise just be lost. Volkswagen goes even further: with the right energy management and intelligent storage systems, charging will eventually be free.
This is what Thomas Schmall and Elke Temme explained at the Volkswagen Power Day. According to the Volkswagen executives, all MEB vehicles will be able not only to take energy from the grid but also to give it back by 2022. That’s the start of the revolution in energy management that Volkswagen believes to be possible.
The company is currently testing that in Wolfsburg. The pilot programme includes 1,250 apartments, 2 MWh in storage capacity, 270 bidirectional wallboxes, and 720 kWp in photovoltaic panels. The idea is to make the ID.3 store the electric energy produced by the photovoltaic panels and give it back to houses and grids when the car is not used.
