Bi-Di Service | Revenue ($/BEV/year) | Business & Sustainability Goals |
---|---|---|
V2G | V2G export & non-export revenues range widely depending on EVVC options, utility regions, tariffs, and market and regulatory structures Revenue ranges average at a low of $906 to a high of $8000 | Promotes BEV adoption by lowering operational and customer costs Promotes a higher share of renewable energy by addressing variability with demand flexibility (DR), and capacity and energy aggregation services (VPP) |
V2H | One case study (PG&E) tested V2H for local resiliency and to bid lower demand into the ISO market Bi-Di EVSE hardware and software costs were higher ($4500) relative to revenue ($1400), OEMs should review options to lower costs and increase revenue from V2G service | Promotes BEV adoption among customers favoring V2H functionality, which can also be used to realize cost savings Encourage market development of Solar + BEV storage solutions to lower GHG emissions and increase value with DR market participation |
V2B | A couple of studies used V2B and synergistic DERs for microgrids. Technology applied to V2G (export and non-export) to increase value Revenue of ~ $1500 with limited BEVs in CA markets is a positive step to evaluate options to increase revenues from fleet BEVs | Like V2H, with a larger potential value chain due to higher energy use in buildings |
