GAC GROUP(SH:601238) Xin Hua Cai Jing·2025-12-01 09:04Core Insights - The article highlights the emerging trend of Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology in Guangzhou, where electric vehicle owners can earn money by charging their cars at night with low-cost electricity and selling it back to the grid during the day, with potential earnings exceeding 200 yuan per day [1][4][16]. Group 1: V2G Implementation and Benefits - Guangzhou has become a pilot city for V2G applications, leading to the creation of the first personal V2G settlement statement in the country and the establishment of the largest V2G microgrid [1][4]. - The V2G model allows electric vehicle owners to transform their cars into "mobile power banks," alleviating grid pressure during peak hours while promoting a collaborative ecosystem among the automotive and energy sectors [1][16]. - As of now, over 9,000 electric vehicles in Guangzhou are regularly participating in V2G, with a cumulative discharge volume exceeding 600,000 kilowatt-hours, equivalent to the electricity consumption of 1,000 households for six months [6][9]. Group 2: Economic Incentives and Mechanisms - The economic model for V2G includes a combination of on-grid electricity pricing, construction subsidies, discharge volume subsidies, and virtual power plant policies, with discharge subsidies typically around 3 yuan per kilowatt-hour [9][10]. - Electric vehicle owners can benefit significantly from the price difference between low-cost night charging (as low as 0.3 yuan per kilowatt-hour) and daytime discharge rates (up to 3 yuan per kilowatt-hour), leading to daily earnings of 80 to 200 yuan [9][10]. - The government has allocated up to 30 million yuan annually for three consecutive years to support V2G pilot projects, demonstrating a commitment to fostering this innovative energy model [10][18]. Group 3: Collaborative Efforts and Future Prospects - Southern Power Grid has effectively collaborated with local governments to address key challenges in V2G implementation, ensuring that there are sufficient vehicles available for discharge, user confidence in battery longevity, and reliable income from the grid [10][11]. - The integration of V2G technology is seen as a transformative step for the electric vehicle industry, shifting from merely producing vehicles to providing comprehensive energy solutions [17][18]. - The successful implementation of V2G in Guangzhou serves as a replicable model for other large cities, potentially accelerating the transition to a new energy system and enhancing the role of electric vehicles as energy assets [16][18].
