Plug in and save with V2G
Transform your parked EV into a powerhouse on wheels.
With Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G), you can power your home, save on energy costs, and lead the way towards a 100% renewable grid.
It’s all made possible through bi-directional charging. Read on to find out how you could save.
Two-way power
Most EVs only draw energy from the grid, but Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) creates a two-way flow. Your car acts as a battery on your drive that ”gives back” stored power to help balance the grid.
It’s a simple, automated way to cut energy costs without harming your battery health. In fact, intelligent cycling can actually help improve your battery over time.
Why choose V2G?
Reduce your energy bills
By selling power during peak times, your EV can pay for its own fuel. It’s a simple way to save, just by leaving your car plugged in while you park.
A greener, more resilient grid
Your EV helps balance the grid by storing excess renewable power then feeding it back to the grid at peak times. This lowers our use of fossil fuels.
Effortless smart technology
Your only job is to leave the car plugged in as much as possible. Our smart tech handles the complex stuff like charging and discharging.
David’s success story
“My car used to sit doing nothing 90% of the time. Now, it’s a huge energy storage device sitting on my drive.”
David saw a benefit of almost £900 in one year by using V2G to cut his household energy costs. Here’s how he cuts his bills:
Smart charging: he charges his car during off-peak hours, using greener energy.
Powering his home: energy from his car battery runs his lights and appliances during evening peak hours.
Offsetting costs: any excess power is discharged back to the grid, balancing out the rest of the energy his home uses.
Be part of theenergy revolution
We’re currently preparing for the next phase of V2G, including new partnerships and wider vehicle compatibility. By choosing OVO, you’re not just buying energy – you’re at the cutting edge of a greener, smarter future.
