The Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) chargers allow employees to charge their electric vehicles whilst giving stored energy back to the grid.
Installed at the Nissan Technical Centre Europe (NTCE) in Cranfield, the chargers were developed by Nissan in partnership with energy provider Enel. The intelligent energy management system is capable of both charging the vehicles and allowing the cars to give stored energy from the vehicle’s battery back to the grid to help stabilise demand.
Nissan aims to demonstrate how electric vehicles can work in tandem with energy management technologies to create a cleaner, more efficient energy network.
