Renault SA is launching a pilot program that will allow electric vehicles to provide energy back to the grid.
Renault says the bi-directional charging technology could be ready for installation on customer vehicles as early as next year. Such vehicle-to-grid systems would enable EV owners to store and sell excess energy to utility companies during peak demand times.
Alliance partner Nissan Motor Co. has been testing vehicle-to-grid systems for several years. Renault also is developing a program to turn used EV batteries into stationary energy storage systems to supplement local electric grids.
