Next to the large scale Smart Charging of electric vehicles in the public domain ElaadNL also tested charging and discharging of a V2G-car as part of the INVADE Horizon 2020 project. What are the surprising results of the tests, and the possibilities for balancing the grid with vehicle to grid? The purpose of the tests was to research the new possibilities within the Open Chargepoint Protocol (OCPP 1.6) when including the reverse energy-flow in DC-charging. To do the tests a car with V2G possibilities and a charging station with V2G were off course necessary. Obtaining these proved to be a challenge, since both cars and charging stations are not easily available yet.
