Vehicle to Grid Technology: Commercialisation Pathways

CMS has published Vehicle to Grid Technology: Commercialisation Pathways, our latest report on the energy transition which assesses V2G and the obstacles we need to overcome to access the valuable benefits of this technology on a wide scale.

V2G technology is expected to play a part in balancing energy demand, but the commercial relationships that bind market participants, including vehicle owners, technology providers and automotive manufacturers are yet to be defined. How is risk going to be apportioned or shared? Who gets to own the data and exploit it commercially? How will proactive prosumers and passive customers use and engage with the technology?

These are just a few of the questions and concerns that were raised at a roundtable dinner at CMS London. The dinner was attended by senior figures from across the industry, generating some distinctive and thought-provoking insights captured within this report.
