Manfred Barzepella, CEO of ABIBOX, explained to LinkedIn that after more than a year of test, project partners have decided to Volkswagen, Folts, Power Bank and Mambox, leave “the protected environment for the test facility in Steinberg and provide service to customers.”
The first pilots will include 200 private companies and customers in Sweden, after which the CEO stated that the product will be available to all customers “from autumn, but requests are already accepted.”
It was launched in 2023, for two years of the project so far, the Volkswagen ID. Models are prepared with 77 kW batteries or larger for V2G technology. The new phase of the project aims to expand and ensure the quality of the Pilot V2H and V2G project in Hudiksvall in Sweden with Energy Banks and the Steeng Housing Association. The aspects that you will focus on in the coming months are jobs, customer experience, savings and potential revenues. The partners state that the goal immediately after the evaluation is a commercial launch.
Car technology to the network (V2G) and vehicle technology to home (V2H) for cars is complex because it includes not only technology inside the charger and car, but also lists of electrical service providers and driving habits for concerned customers.
“We will all lie if we say it was an easy project; we have put ourselves a very ambitious goal. I am sure that we have created something very strong, especially with the software platform developed by EnergyBank and Ampox and improving it with V2G with Hems.”
V2G and V2H technology allows electric cars and operators to charge their cars when the network’s demand is low, thus imposing extra renewable energy, and alleviating some network promotions and fixed storage. With V2G, drivers can feed the energy again in the network in cases of power outages or when the demand is high and requires excess capacity.
V2G technology is currently developed to expand the scope of general use such as car companies and shipping providers to develop products facing customers. In the Netherlands, the V2G is published by the marriage shipping provider in car sharing initiatives. Dual -trends currently find its place in energy storage and energy management systems where energy transition is driven forward.
