A major step forward has been achieved with Deliverable 2.4, introducing innovative business models that better connect electric vehicle (EV) users with the evolving needs of the energy system. As EV adoption accelerates across Europe, this work addresses a key challenge: aligning user-centric mobility services with cost-efficient and flexible grid operation.
The deliverable explores how Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology can create value for both end-users and the electricity system. By promoting energy flexibility, enhancing grid resilience, and supporting cross-sector integration, the proposed solutions aim to benefit all actors in the V2G ecosystem.
To develop these models, the project team combined multiple approaches, including stakeholder questionnaires, partner interviews, global benchmarking of Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) business models, and insights from previous research. This collaborative effort led to the design of a shared digital platform that enables real-time data exchange between automotive and energy stakeholders.
Built using the Business Model Canvas methodology, the platform directly addresses two critical barriers to V2G adoption: limited real-time data sharing and challenges in forecasting and coordinating EV participation in energy markets. By facilitating the exchange of key information—such as battery status, charging needs, grid conditions, and energy prices—the platform unlocks new value streams for manufacturers, grid operators, charging providers, and users alike.
Importantly, the solution also enhances the user experience, offering features such as smart charging, energy price forecasting, and battery health monitoring. Deliverable 2.4 therefore lays the groundwork for scalable, user-friendly, and economically viable V2G services that support the transition to a more flexible and integrated energy system.
