Australia launches V2G pilot letting EV drivers earn money by feeding power back to the grid.
Origin Energy is launching a vehicle-to-grid (V2G) pilot in Australia, partnering with BYD and StarCharge to test if EV drivers will supply energy back to the grid in exchange for benefits.
Starting in January, 50 participants will receive a BYD Atto 3, a bi-directional charger, and a special energy tariff for about $800 monthly.
The trial aims to study charging habits and how EVs can stabilize the grid during peak demand, potentially reducing the need for home batteries.
While drivers could save up to $2,500 annually, the main goal is gathering data to design a compelling V2G program.
The initiative follows Australia’s 2035 electric vehicle sales target and a new national V2G standard.
Earlier trials showed potential earnings of hundreds to thousands of dollars per year.
Interested individuals can register for the pilot.
