V2X: vehicle-to-everything
Demand for electricity is expected to increase significantly in the future, with electric vehicle charging forecasted to be 20% to 30% of total demand on the electric grid in 20 years.
Fortunately, EVs can also be part of the solution through V2X, or vehicle-to-everything. V2X is an opportunity for PSE and our customers to work together to meet rising demand for electricity.
What is V2X?
V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything), is a technology that allows for the bi-directional flow of electricity stored in the batteries of compatible EVs to power buildings, homes, and even the electrical grid.
V2X is an umbrella term that describes the technology such as vehicle -to-grid (V2G), vehicle-to-buildings (V2B), vehicle-to-home (V2H), or other vehicles.
V2H = vehicle-to-home
- What is V2H: V2H technology transforms your EV into a powerful energy resource for your home.
- How it works: Using bidirectional charging capabilities, V2H allows your EV battery to supply electricity back to your house when needed. Your EV can charge during off-peak hours when electricity is cheaper on a Time-of-Use rate, then power your home during peak periods or outages.
V2B = vehicle-to-building
- What is V2B: V2B technology transforms your EV into a power energy resource for your building.
- How it works: Using bidirectional charging capabilities, V2B allows your EV to supply electricity back to your building when needed. Your EV can charge during off-peak hours when electricity is cheaper on a Time-of-Use rate or mitigate demand charges, then power critical loads in your building during peak periods or outages.
V2G = vehicle-to-grid
- What is V2G: V2G technology transforms your vehicle into a distributed energy resource on wheels to help stabilize the grid.
- How it works: Using bidirectional charging capabilities, V2G allows your EV to supply electricity back to the grid when needed. Your EV can serve as a critical grid resource to balance peak demand and provide additional capacity.

How V2X works
V2X allows battery-only electric vehicles to act as distributed energy resources, helping to reduce demand on the electric grid.
- Bidirectional charging: electricity flows both to and from the vehicle in order to contribute excess energy back to the electric grid during high-demand periods or to homes and buildings in times of need.
- Grid support functionality: the vehicle acts as a mobile battery storage system, supporting the electric grid during peak demand and enhancing reliability.
- Smart charging infrastructure: integration with smart charging systems allow for optimized vehicle charging schedules based on time-of-use rates, energy demand and more.

The benefits of V2X
In support of PSE’s Transportation Electrification Plan, we’re exploring the best ways to utilize V2X for the benefit of the electric grid and our customers. Those benefits include:
- Lower fuel expenses for commercial and residential customers
- Potential compensation for customers participating in vehicle-to-grid programs
- A more resilient and robust energy grid
- Backup power for homes and buildings
- Support for greener and more sustainable transportation
-
V2X and Interconnection
- What is Interconnection? Interconnection is the process of connecting any potential energy source to a home that operates in parallel with the PSE grid, transforming any device into an integrated part of a home's energy ecosystem and the broader clean energy grid.
- Why is Interconnection Critical for V2X? Proper interconnection is essential for V2X technology to function safely and effectively. It ensures that:
- EVs can supply power during outages or peak periods
- Excess energy from vehicles can flow back to the grid when beneficial
- Maintain access to reliable grid power when EV battery is low
- All energy transfers happen safely without risking damage to equipment or the electrical system
- How Interconnection Works with V2X:
- Draw power from the PSE grid to charge EVs during off-peak hours
- Supply power from an EV battery to a home during outages or expensive peak periods
- Send excess energy back to the PSE grid when an EV is fully charged and home energy needs are met
- Automatically switch between these modes based on energy needs, time-of-use rates, and grid conditions
- Key Benefits:
- Reliability: Never lose access to grid power
- Flexibility: Optimize when and how energy is used based on cost and availability
- Safety: Proper interconnection protects home, vehicle, and the broader electrical system
- Grid Support: Contribute to a cleaner, more resilient energy future
V2X 자주 묻는 질문
V2X는 전력망에 어떻게 도움이 되나요?
V2X는 정전 시 백업 전력을 제공하고, 전력망 수요의 균형을 유지하고, 재생 에너지 통합을 지원하고, 사용량이 가장 많은 기간 동안 부담을 줄이는 데 도움이 될 수 있습니다.
V2X에 참여하려면 어떻게 해야 하나요?
V2X 장비를 상호 연결하려면 어떻게 해야 합니까?
V2X 기술은 새롭고 빠르게 변화하기 때문에 프로세스가 변경될 수 있습니다. 하지만 분산 재생 에너지 페이지에서 상호 연결에 대해 자세히 알아보고 신청서를 작성하여 앞서 나갈 수 있습니다.
V2X는 차량 배터리에 안전한가요?
V2X 시스템은 배터리 보존을 염두에 두고 설계되었으며 차량 배터리의 과도한 방전이나 손상을 방지하기 위한 보호 기능을 포함합니다.차량 보증서를 확인하여 V2X와 관련된 제한 사항을 숙지하시기 바랍니다.
내 차량은 언제 전력망에 전력을 공급할까요?
차량은 일반적으로 전기 시스템에 심한 부하가 걸리는 최대 수요 기간에 전력망에 전력을 공급합니다.전력망 비상 상황에서도 차량에 전력을 공급하여 전기 시스템에 추가 자원이 필요할 때 유용한 지원을 제공할 수 있습니다.
항상 운전에 필요한 충전을 충분히 할 수 있나요?
V2X 프로그램을 통해 참가자는 항상 최소 충전 수준을 설정하고 차량을 완전히 충전해야 하는 시기를 알려줄 수 있습니다.
