Description
Description | Amber Electric is expanding its landmark vehicle-to-grid (V2G) and smart charging pilot project to include 1,000 electric vehicles (EVs) with additional government funding. The project aims to bring the concept of "batteries on wheels" into the mainstream by enabling EVs to support the grid and help power homes. The pilot allows consumers to charge their EVs automatically when electricity prices are low and sell electricity back to the grid when prices are high, with drivers maintaining control over charging schedules and minimum charge levels. |
