Talk:Vehicle-to-grid

message: Given vehicle-to-grid integration is a current and developing system, this article requires attention and regular revisions to keep updated with the latest emerging vehicle-to-grid projects.
In this revision, the research efforts at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory are introduced.  In particular, this new section outlines current research in battery degradation impact and renewable-integration potential of V2G services.
This revision also adds a 2016 V2G pilot project launched by Nissan and Enel in the United Kingdom.

thread_title: Added more current projects under "Current Projects" section

message: I added an entire section on the future development and implementation of Vehicle-to-grid in a few key countries around the world. While this list is certainly not meant to be exhaustive, I felt that this technology being very new (with a certain level of uncertainty as far as raw numbers go), it was important to be able to predict and get a rough estimate of how much of an impact this technology will have in the future, as well as know what kinds of actions countries are taking to actually make this technology widely prevalent.

thread_title: Added section on future plans for Vehicle-to-grid around the world

message: I added a refimprove tag, because there are currently two cited references, and neither of them mentions "vehicle to grid." The blog entry isn't really a reliable source, either, despite its being well-written and consistent with other articles about PG&E's plans. There are a lot of external links and forum links, and maybe some of those are reliable sources that could be cited; I didn't check them. -Agyle 03:39, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Needs references 

message: At $4/gallon of gas, $4,000 per year buys 1,000 gallons of gas, which at 30 mpg gets you 30,000 miles per year, which is more than what the average person drives. However, since the average electric vehicle gets 150 mpg equivalent, I would say that $4,000 is more like 150,000 miles per year worth of electricity. Can anyone find a source that says that V2G will allow driving for free (other than insurance and purchase price)? 199.125.109.87 (talk) 02:41, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Value

message: You decrease energy efficiency carrying heavy batteries. Night electricity will become more expensive, if there is a great demand. Peak shaving electrity will become cheap when easy available. The market will destroy this idea (even investment costs not taken in account).--93.129.139.209 (talk) 17:23, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Completly Nonsens 

message: The article's history section states AC Propulsion Inc. coined the term V2G citing a 2005 publication: Emadi, Ali (2005). Handbook of Automotive Power Electronics and Motor Drives. p. 34.
This 2001 publication by the University of Deleware uses the term V2G throughout. http://www1.udel.edu/V2G/docs/V2G-Cal-2001.pdf 
Did AC Propulsion Inc really coin this term? Is a history section even necessary for this term?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lgats (talk • contribs) 23:20, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

message: There is an economic advantage to the electrical utility using existing batteries that are bought and paid for by consumers. The utility does not need to finance it's own storage facility. Operating costs to cover battery replacements, bi-directional chargers, metering and control would be still be significant. It's debatable whether the financing advantage would outweigh the increased operating costs over time.
Unless I hear an objection I plan to delete "grid regulation can be done without decreasing the life of the battery". I don't believe it's possible to draw power from a battery and not decrease it's life. Dougmcdonell (talk) 17:35, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: The deleted text specifically said "absorbing excess surges, but not supplying peak power" ie. grid-to-vehicle as a variable part of the normal charging routine, NOT Vehicle-to-grid. The text is valid for inclusion somewhere else, but likely not in this article. TGCP (talk) 22:13, 29 August 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  economics 

message: Alas, page has much old content, some of it forward-looking for what is now in (or close to) the past, e.g. "By 2020 in the UK, every residential home will have been offered… market value is projected to grow… between 2015 and 2020 (ZigBee 2010)". Editor options: easier/better to remove altogether, update with newer references, or replace with new relevant content?

thread_title:  fix dated content 

message: Notice that Nuvve is mentioned in several sections. It doesn't yet have its own WP page, but maybe it deserves its own section here to collect its work in various states and countries' projects.

replies: text: This page is about the concept in general. I am reluctant to put individual companies here. WP:REDLINK says that a red link such as Nuvve provides an incentive for somebody to create the article - although there are no guarantees.  Stepho  talk  11:09, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
