Electric Heavy Goods Vehicles - first roll-out and demonstration of V2X and grid decarbonisation

The project focuses on V2G services potential of electric HGVs (eHGVs) - load-balancing, frequency stabilisation and resilience. It aims to demonstrate that V2X could significantly reduce total cost of ownership for eHGVs, making them more affordable than diesel vehicles. Kaasai’s digital platform will integrate data from Project Better Energy’s bi-directional chargers and ZevHub’s fleet charging infrastructure to enable V2G service provision. The trial will use optimisation algorithms and apps to enable fleet managers to manage EV charging/discharging for commercially optimal energy trading, while also meeting the needs of their operational freight demands and battery health considerations.
