Mobility2Grid on ARD Radio: How Far Along Is Bidi­rec­tion­al Charging?

/by

The Mobility2Grid rese­arch cam­pus is con­duc­ting rese­arch on elec­tric vehic­les as mobi­le ener­gy sto­rage sys­tems. Through bidi­rec­tion­al char­ging, they have the poten­ti­al to actively sup­port the ener­gy tran­si­ti­on. But how far along is the deve­lo­p­ment of this tech­no­lo­gy? What obs­ta­cles remain? What are the next steps nee­ded to ensu­re that elec­tric vehic­les can not only char­ge but also feed elec­tri­ci­ty back into the grid or into buil­dings when needed?

Nina Weber and Alex­an­der Grah­le from Mobility2Grid e.V. dis­cus­sed the­se issues in an inter­view with the ARD sci­ence edi­to­ri­al team. The report explains how bidi­rec­tion­al char­ging can help bet­ter inte­gra­te rene­wa­ble ener­gy into the ener­gy sys­tem and redu­ce grid loads. At the same time, the­re are still major tech­ni­cal and regu­la­to­ry chal­lenges that limit its wide­spread adoption.

The radio seg­ment was broad­cast on SWR Kul­tur, BR24, and WDR 5, among others.
You can lis­ten to the seg­ment in the ARD audio libra­ry. The inter­view with Mobility2Grid beg­ins at the 49:00 mark. It is Only available in Ger­man language.

Can Elec­tric Vehic­les Help Build a More Resi­li­ent Future for Ener­gy Grids?

/by

Join us on May 22 at 12:00 PM, for the next web­i­nar in our Grid­Talks series.

In this ses­si­on, Die­go Fadran­ski, Head of the “Auto­ma­ted Dri­ving and Char­ging” unit at Mobility2Grid, offers valuable insights into the future role of elec­tric vehic­les in decen­tra­li­zed and resi­li­ent ener­gy systems.

As rene­wa­ble ener­gy sources con­ti­nue to expand and public and indi­vi­du­al mobi­li­ty beco­mes incre­asing­ly elec­tri­fied, new chal­lenges ari­se for the sta­bi­li­ty of power grids. One pro­mi­sing solu­ti­on is bidi­rec­tion­al char­ging — a tech­no­lo­gy that allows elec­tric vehic­les not only to con­su­me elec­tri­ci­ty, but also to feed ener­gy back into the grid when needed.

The web­i­nar pres­ents cur­rent rese­arch at Mobility2Grid on how elec­tric vehic­le bat­te­ries can sta­bi­li­ze power grids and pro­vi­de emer­gen­cy back­up power for cri­ti­cal infra­struc­tu­re. Along­side the tech­no­lo­gi­cal poten­ti­al of vehic­le-to-grid solu­ti­ons, the ses­si­on will also address the regu­la­to­ry, eco­no­mic, and tech­ni­cal chal­lenges that still need to be overcome.

Mobility2Grid pres­ents its­elf at the IAA MOBI­LI­TY 2025

/by

From Sep­tem­ber 9 to 12, 2025, Mobility2Grid will be show­ca­sing its work at the IAA MOBI­LI­TY in Munich, the world’s lea­ding plat­form for mobi­li­ty, sus­taina­bi­li­ty, and tech­no­lo­gy. As a main exhi­bi­tor in the Sum­mit area of the trade fair (Hall A2, Stand C30), the rese­arch and indus­try con­sor­ti­um will pre­sent its inno­va­tions in intel­li­gent char­ging infra­struc­tu­re and vehic­le-to-grid con­cepts. The aim is to demons­tra­te how elec­tric vehic­les can not only enable emis­si­on-free mobi­li­ty but also ser­ve as fle­xi­ble ener­gy sto­rage units that con­tri­bu­te to grid sta­bi­li­ty. In doing so, Mobility2Grid addres­ses one of the key the­mes of this year’s IAA: the clo­se inte­gra­ti­on of the ener­gy tran­si­ti­on and the mobi­li­ty transition.

Par­ti­ci­pa­ti­on in IAA MOBI­LI­TY pro­vi­des Mobility2Grid with the oppor­tu­ni­ty to pre­sent its con­cepts to an inter­na­tio­nal audi­ence of poli­cy­ma­kers, indus­try lea­ders, and rese­ar­chers, while also fos­te­ring exch­an­ge with poten­ti­al partners. With for­mats such as key­notes, mas­ter­clas­ses, and dis­cus­sion forums at the Sum­mit, along­side the open, free­ly acces­si­ble exhi­bi­ti­on spaces in down­town Munich, the event once again beco­mes a stage for inno­va­ti­on and future trends—from smart char­ging and auto­no­mous dri­ving to urban mobi­li­ty. Against this back­drop, Mobility2Grid is lever­aging the visi­bi­li­ty of IAA MOBI­LI­TY to advan­ce the dia­lo­gue on future-rea­dy ener­gy sys­tems and to under­line its role as a dri­ving force in sha­ping sus­tainable mobility.
