Summary

Small-scale V2G pilot completed by the US Department of Defence leading to a large-scale testing and evaluation programme on 6 DoD installations. Objectives are to demonstrate financial and operational benefits of a V2G fleet. A key lesson learnt is that frequency regulation alone can reduce the monthly lease price of a PEV sedan by about 72%.
