“By developing vehicle-to-grid technology we’re enabling drivers to store renewable energy in their cars, use that to power their homes and to sell energy back to the grid at peak times, allowing our customers to earn rewards from smart charging their electric vehicle,” he said. Energy technology company OVO Energy has installed a domestic vehicle-to-grid (V2G) electric vehicle ( EV ) charger in a customer’s home, the end of last year after launching the 6 kW bi-directional device. The charger is available for EV LEAF owners whose EVs have a 30 to 6 kWh battery, said OVO , adding it is the world's first domestic charger installation. The charger enables drivers to store renewable energy in their cars, power their homes and sell the surplus back to the grid during peak hours , said EV 's EV director, Tom Pakenham .
