Wow $1000 per month is a whole lot of money just to delay charging a bit. I'm sure a lot of people would gladly participate, but I'm sure the number of spots available is very limited.
I like the thinking on this and the concept but do not totally understand why you would need to do this if you charge your car at off peak times. Also would you not want to save money on your kWh usage I always charge from midnight to 7am. Maybe someone can tell me what I'm missing.
It's got to be a publicity stunt. There's no way it would save anyone (individual, BMW or utility company) anywhere near $1000 a month. Now 100 - 1000 cars, yes. But not one car.
I have heard of such a thing, plugging in a bunch of car batteries to help the grid.
$1000 a month is amazing.
I think V2G sounds great at first, but then you realize (a) your car already charges at night and uses power during the day, and (b) you don't want to wear out your expensive EV battery. A true grid storage pack would probably be built differently - and less expensively - than an EV pack.
Maybe V2G would be useful for emergencies, but then you're faced with the question of whether you want electricity or transportation...
This isn't V2G, it is just about load management by turning off charging at peak demand times. Most cars won't be charging at that time anyway, so I think it is pretty ridiculous.
