============================================================
V2G (Vehicle-to-Grid) offers the possibility of using the battery capacity of electric vehicles (EVs). This technology allows EVs to not only charge from the grid but also discharge their stored energy back to the grid or to other devices, like a home. To help understand the scale of the potential opportunity, the Electric Vehicle Database claims the "battery usable" for EV's has an "Average 71.2 kWh"
In- Person: V2G- Vehicle to Grid: The Role of Two-Way EV Charging and How it Could be the Game Changer the Grid Needs
We have two presenters, Darren Fitzpatrick from Ausgrid , and Sam Evans - The Electric Viking. Between them, they can cover
-How bi-directional electric vehicle (EV ) charging can influence how the grid operates, and how grid operators are preparing.
-How bi-directional EV charging changes the electric vehicle user's experience.
- And how the entire electricity market can benefit from bidirectional EV charging.

V2G – Ausgrid is ready for business
The presentation will look at V2G topologies, architectures, and the elements of a successful V2G ecosystem. It will then discuss recent industry developments and the role V2G can play in helping the grid. Finally, it will confer how customers will connect their system to Ausgrid’s network.
