Toyota Motor North America (Toyota) and Pepco, a local energy utility in Maryland, are partnering on vehicle-to-grid (V2G) research for battery electric vehicles (BEVs) using a Toyota bZ4X to explore bidirectional power flow technology that could enable BEV owners to charge their battery and send power back to the local energy grid. The research aims to understand the requirements of EV owners through their charging habits and vehicle usage to drive widespread adoption of V2G technology. The demonstration project will assist Pepco in understanding the infrastructure required to enable the rapid growth of EV charging infrastructure and the nuances of interconnecting V2Gs to the grid.
