Electric vehicle (EV) chargers are no longer just for charging your car—they are becoming key to building resilient communities. The V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything) project explores how EV chargers can support renewable energy, reduce reliance on the grid, and provide backup power in emergencies.
EV Chargers as Multi-Use Assets
- Community Resilience: During power outages, V2X technology enables EV batteries to supply electricity to community centres, keeping vital services running and providing a safe space for residents.
- Energy Cost Savings: Vehicle-to-Building systems allow buildings like community halls to draw power from EVs during peak times, lowering energy bills by shifting usage to cheaper, renewable sources.
- Grid Flexibility: EVs connected to chargers can export stored energy to alleviate strain on the grid during high demand, generating revenue and maximising renewable energy usage.
A Vision for Sustainable Communities
By integrating V2X chargers, Charge My Street is helping communities transition to a sustainable future. This approach not only makes EV ownership more efficient but also enhances energy resilience, supports the grid, and strengthens rural and urban communities alike.
If you would like to join the V2X revolution, see how your EV can do more than take you from A to B and be part of our innovative project please get in touch. We are currently installing, or have installed this technology in the locations marked on the map above.
