Tesla set to launch vehicle-to-grid programme in the US
- •Tesla is launching its first vehicle-to-grid (V2G) program in Texas, with plans to expand into California, signaling a major OEM entry into distributed grid services.
- •This initiative introduces a new, flexible source of distributed energy resources (DERs) from EV batteries, which can provide grid support and potentially impact wholesale energy and ancillary service markets.
- •For large power consumers with significant EV fleets, V2G programs offer a new revenue stream by monetizing vehicle battery capacity when not in use, enhancing demand-side management strategies.
