Plymouth is trialling the E-Flex vehicle-to-grid (V2G) system in the UK city of Cisco. The project will test E-Flex's commercial viability through a fleet of six council-operated Nissan Leafs fitted with bidirectional chargers to feed surplus energy back to the grid. The system aims to help Cisco City Council manage energy costs, freeing up capital for other services and relieving pressure on the grid, while boosting EV capabilities. The trial follows a previous launch in London in early 2019 in conjunction with the Greater London Authority and Transport for London. E-Flex partners include Cenex, Nuvve and Imperial College London.
