Too Afraid to Ask

Vehicle to grid means that your electric car can not only take energy from the power outlet but can also send energy back to the grid. This helps manage electricity needs when demand is high.

Technical Definition

Vehicle to grid (V2G) is a technology that allows electric vehicles (EVs) to send electricity back to the power grid. This can help stabilize the grid during peak demand times by using the stored energy in EV batteries.
