Vehicle-to-grid technology refers to an intelligent charging method that enables electric vehicle (EV) batteries to recharge the electrical grid, utilizing surplus battery capacity to support renewable energy generation.
Vehicle-to-grid technology incorporates several key components, including electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE), home energy management (HEM) systems, smart meters, and software solutions. Electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) refers to charging stations designed to provide electrical power for plug-in electric vehicle charging. This technology encompasses various charging types, such as unidirectional and bidirectional charging, utilized in charge battery electric vehicles (BEVs), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), and fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs). These systems are applied across different power supply modes such as reactive power, baseload power, spinning reserves, peak power sales, and other electricity management processes.

The vehicle-to-grid technology market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $4.15 billion in 2024 to $5.14 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 23.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to electric vehicle adoption, grid stability and management, renewable energy integration, energy resilience and emergency power, government support and policies.
The vehicle-to-grid technology market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $11.86 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 23.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to expansion of electric vehicle fleets, grid decentralization and distributed energy resources, integration with smart grids, demand response programs, environmental sustainability goals. Major trends in the forecast period include collaborations between automakers and utilities, introduction of V2G-capable charging stations, expansion of V2G pilot programs and demonstrations, integration with renewable energy sources, regulatory support and standardization initiatives.
The rising adoption of electric vehicles is expected to drive the growth of the vehicle-to-grid technology market in the future. An electric vehicle is powered by an electric motor that draws energy from a battery and can be charged from an external source. Vehicle-to-grid technology enables electric vehicles to utilize smart charging, allowing their batteries to supply electricity back to the grid. This technology employs information technology to manage energy use while vehicles are on the road. For instance, in February 2024, the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications, and the Arts, an Australia-based government department, reported that as of January 31, 2022, there were 20.7 million registered motor vehicles, marking a 2% increase from January 2021. Battery electric vehicles (BEVs) numbered around 40,000, reflecting a 100% increase from 2021, with 34,200 of these being passenger cars in 2022, up by 118% from the previous year. Hybrid-electric vehicles (HEVs) reached approximately 277,000 in 2022, showing a 35% increase from 2021. Therefore, the increasing adoption of electric vehicles is driving the growth of the vehicle-to-grid technology market.
The expansion of charging infrastructure is driving the growth of the vehicle-to-grid technology market. The charging infrastructure comprises stations and related equipment enabling electric vehicle charging. Vehicle-to-grid technology integrates with charging infrastructure, offering grid reliability, load management, renewable energy integration, and reduced carbon footprint. By 2030, there's an anticipated installation of 12.9 million publicly accessible EV charging stations, reflecting the significant growth in charging infrastructure contributing to the vehicle-to-grid technology market.
In the vehicle-to-grid technology market, major players are introducing cutting-edge products such as the EvoCharge max EV charging station by EvoCharge Inc. Released in April 2023, this level 2 EV charger offers quick charging for higher amperage, delivering up to 19.2 kW of power (80 amps on a 240V circuit). It aims to cater to commercial and domestic usage, prioritizing speed and scalability while maintaining affordability. EvoCharge's emphasis on reliability and security positions it strategically in the competitive charging station landscape.
Within the vehicle-to-grid technology market, major corporations are forging strategic partnerships to fortify their market positions and develop new products. A case in point is Toyota Motor Corporation's collaboration in November 2023 with San Diego Gas & Electric Company (SDG&E), a US-based utility provider. This alliance aims to optimize energy use by exploring grid-to-power capabilities in electric vehicles (EVs), enabling them to contribute back to the grid when necessary. The partnership seeks to align the demands of battery electric vehicle (BEV) owners with grid requirements for mutual benefit.
In April 2022, BorgWarner Inc., a US-based automotive supplier, acquired Rhombus Energy Solutions for $185 million. This strategic acquisition marks BorgWarner's entry into the vehicle-to-grid (V2G) direct current rapid charging service sector. By integrating Rhombus Energy Solutions, BorgWarner aims to fortify its position in supporting critical components of electric mobility infrastructure, especially focusing on charging services.
