Article suggests that V2G will (soon) be available for CCS chargers rather than just Chadomo as at present.

Hard to know if V2G will be available for existing CCS cars via a software update or only for new models.

Probably going to need a new EV charger too.

Lots of unanswered questions.

I like this idea (from the article), if it ever happened as it may give you a discount on your airport parking and you return back with a full EV battery. :mrgreen:

"Locational V2G charging has also been broached by distribution network operator UK Power Networks (UKPN), which released a study in September 2023 into the potential of airport car parks. UKPN described these car parks as the “sleeping giant” of the energy transition, with its study estimating that a total 4.3GW of flexible electricity demand would be made available."
