新能源汽车化身“移动充电宝” 车网互动普及仍需多方发力

Core Viewpoint - The interaction between electric vehicles (EVs) and the power grid (V2G) is evolving into a two-way energy exchange, enabling EVs to act as "mobile power banks" that charge during off-peak hours and discharge back to the grid during peak times, thus providing economic benefits and assisting in load balancing for the power system [1][5]. Group 1: V2G Implementation and Development - The city of Hefei has established a demonstration site with 27 V2G charging stations, allowing EV owners to automatically discharge power back to the grid, potentially earning up to 40 yuan per discharge based on current price differences [2][3]. - Hefei has conducted successful tests of V2G technology, achieving a discharge power exceeding 2000 kW and a total discharge volume of over 5000 kWh, equivalent to three years of electricity consumption for an average household [3]. - Other cities, including Shenzhen and Guangzhou, are also exploring V2G implementation, with Shenzhen initiating a demonstration project and Guangzhou issuing the first personal V2G settlement bill [4]. Group 2: Policy and Market Drivers - The development of V2G technology is seen as essential for the growth of the EV industry and the establishment of a new power system, with the total charging volume of EVs in China reaching 54.923 billion kWh in the first half of the year [5][6]. - Various cities are introducing financial incentives to support V2G initiatives, such as Guangzhou's annual 20 million yuan subsidy and Shanghai's rewards for qualifying V2G charging stations [8]. Group 3: Challenges and Bottlenecks - Despite the favorable conditions, several challenges remain, including high costs of V2G equipment, which can be 2.5 times more expensive than standard chargers, and the lack of unified technical standards across manufacturers [9][10]. - There are concerns among EV manufacturers regarding the practicality and benefits of adding V2G capabilities, as well as potential liability issues related to vehicle malfunctions during discharge [10][12]. - Consumer awareness and understanding of V2G technology are still limited, with many sales personnel not familiar with its benefits, which may hinder broader adoption [11].
