Nissan has announced plans to integrate Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology into its electric vehicles (EVs) starting in 2026, marking a significant step towards the company’s vision of creating a sustainable energy ecosystem.
The initiative will launch in the UK before expanding to other European markets, aligning with the global push towards cleaner energy solutions and greater energy independence.
As of early 2024, around 1.5 million UK homes were equipped with solar panels, representing approximately 5% of the total 28 million homes. This figure has been steadily rising, driven by increasing affordability and awareness of renewable energy options. In terms of ‘home battery storage’, adoption is also growing, with government incentives such as zero VAT for battery installations helping to drive uptake.
By the end of 2024, around 8 GW of battery storage is expected to be available, though it’s important to note that not all homes with solar panels currently have battery storage systems.
