Analysis using logistic S-curve modelling suggests bi-directional electric vehicle charging (vehicle-to-grid) could become Australia's dominant form of grid energy storage by 2050, potentially reducing the need for standalone home batteries and large-scale storage projects like Snowy 2.0.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Clean Energy.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Electric vehicle batteries are poised to take a leading role in Australia's energy storage, cutting demand for dedicated storage solutions. You need to position your product or service to integrate with V2G technology and government incentive shifts now.
