How important will Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology be in the future and how do we exploit the UKs current position as one of the world leaders in V2G?

Background

BEIS has committed to ending the UK’s contribution to global warming by achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Our work towards becoming a leader in green technologies and clean energy will drive economic growth, all whilst accelerating global climate action through strong international leadership.
