Nissan to launch affordable V2G technology in 2026 – Charged EVs


Nissan has announced that it will introduce affordable bidirectional charging on select EV models in 2026. 

Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology enables EV owners to sell electricity stored in their car’s battery back to the grid or to use it for powering their homes.

A year-long trial in the UK at the University of Nottingham validated the scalability of AC- and DC-based bidirectional systems and provided customer feedback. Nissan then obtained G99 Grid code certification with an AC-based solution, allowing it to supply electricity to the country’s national energy grid.

Nissan plans to roll out the V2G technology, under the banner of Nissan Energy, first in the UK and then in other European markets. It aims to offer its AC bidirectional charger at a price comparable to that of a monodirectional charger available today.

“This technology is a potential game-changer for how we think of EVs,” said Hugues Desmarchelier, VP of Nissan’s Global Electrification Ecosystem & EV Programs. “Not just as a means of getting from A to B, but as a mobile energy storage unit that can save people money and support the transition from fossil fuels.”
