Regulator clears EVs to feed power back into grid
Original: Grid agency allows electric cars to send power back to the grid, but industry says the rules are still too complicated
A grid agency has approved rules allowing electric vehicle owners to send stored power from their cars back to the electricity grid, a step towards vehicle-to-grid technology that could help balance renewable energy supply. Industry groups have welcomed the decision but say the new rules remain too complicated, warning that overly complex requirements could slow adoption of bidirectional charging by drivers and energy providers.
Why now: Regulators and industry are actively debating new vehicle-to-grid rules at a time of rapid EV and renewable energy growth.
