Nissan to Launch Affordable Vehicle-Grid Interaction Tech in 2026

TapTechNews October 11th news, on the 10th local time, Nissan Motor announced that it will launch an affordable vehicle-grid interaction technology on some electric vehicles starting from 2026, which is an important step towards the company's 'vision of a sustainable energy ecosystem'.

The Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology will allow electric vehicle owners to use the power in the vehicle's battery to supply power to the home, or sell the power back to the grid. This technology will be first launched in the UK and then extended to other markets in Europe.

According to TapTechNews' understanding, Nissan claims that through its V2G technology, the annual charging cost of electric vehicles can be reduced by 50%, and at the same time, each vehicle can also reduce carbon emissions by 30% per year. In addition, electric vehicles equipped with V2G technology can also help the grid absorb more renewable energy such as solar and wind energy, and transfer power back to the grid when needed to reduce dependence on fossil fuels.

On the 7th local time, Nissan announced that it has reached an investment agreement with ChargeScape, a joint venture formed by BMW, Ford and Honda. Nissan said that it has sold more than 650,000 LEAF models in the United States, which is one of the first batch of electric vehicles with the ability to feed power back to the grid, and joining the ChargeScape alliance is of particular significance.
