Dear Sir or Madam,
the topic V2G and in particular V2H finds too little attention in my eyes. I would be interested to hear when BMW and VW jump on this train. Do you have more information? The projects so that both manufacturers run, I know. In addition, unfortunately, I am not aware of anything. Nissan also runs in Japan as V2G or V2h. When will the manufacturers offer their electric cars in Germany? I personally already know 23 owners of a PV system who are waiting for such a car. However, it should be a German manufacturer for most. Furthermore, Smart Home, as realized by Tesla with digital power, is also a very big topic. First and foremost, the product EE-Bus should be mentioned, which is currently being approved by the committees worldwide. Are there already statements from German carmakers?
Overall, the topic is highly interesting and promising. I would like to experience much more practice experiences from the media.
Thank you in advance for your detailed feedback.eMail from a reader dated December 20.12.2015, XNUMX - name known
Dear Reader,
You are absolutely right! V2H and V2G are THE topics of the future. For us on mein-auto-blog, the entire complex is extremely exciting - not only since we started the PHEV endurance tester. As always with new technologies, you suffer from the chicken / egg problem.
First the automobile manufacturers or only the energy suppliers? Who should invest in new technology when investing in new technologies?
The VW scandal I am convinced that this will give the issue another boost. So far, German automobile manufacturers have held back and have concentrated on what can be sold “without explanation”: diesel engines. I don't mean to echo the old song about “missed opportunities”. On the contrary. I still see the automotive industry in Germany and especially the suppliers as drivers of innovation. However, with a very sober assessment of risks and stakeholder wishes. Volkswagen and Audi have already proven several times and very impressively that efficient cars can be built in Germany. The Audi A2 and the 3L Lupo were clear statements on the subject of efficiency. However, their sales figures make a clear statement on the topic: "What does the customer want - and what does he end up buying?"
However, a look at the current sales figures shows one thing very clearly: customers want SUVs. Completely without discussion about the sense or nonsense of these vehicles! It has to be an SUV. So if we want to take the path and finally make V2H and V2G part of everyday life, then the customer has to ask for plug-in hybrids or even pure electric SUVs. Our long-term tester from Mitsubishi was the “first” plug-in hybrid SUV in series production in the world. And it's no surprise that this vehicle was offered by a Japanese manufacturer.
The topic of energy transition in Germany is one with many question marks.
Everyone wants to be “environmentally friendly”, but woe betide you when the next wind turbine is on your doorstep. And you don’t want new power lines either. And so the energy transition, which once had a very serious reason, turns into a farce.
To abbreviate it and get back to your question:
Neither BMW nor VW, I currently have the necessary information. Especially since BMW especially the PHEV topics are a joke! A fullsize SUV, which in reality does not create 20 km electrically? Its 9kWh battery should be for the V2H synonymous only a minimal solution. For me, this also answers to a certain extent the question of how intensively (eg.) In Munich you are working on the topics you are asking.
V2h - Already today?
The 23 PV owners of your circle of acquaintances will have to deal with Japanese solutions at the moment. In Japan, the topic of decentralized power supply is quite a bit further. Our duration tester shows that impressively. The from e8energy offered “DIVA”. A V2H interface for vehicles with ChaDeMo charging socket.
With best regards,
Bjoern Habegger
