About this episode

This episode discusses the potential of vehicle-to-grid technology in Australia and its implications for energy storage and the grid.

Vehicle-to-grid has the potential to reshape how we think about energy, turning EVs into flexible storage that can support households and the grid. But how close are we really? In this episode, Sam speaks with Portia Rooney about the global state of V2G, what Australia can learn from leading markets, and what needs to happen next to make it mainstream.
