In this episode, John Murray speaks to Irene Guerra Gil from gridX and Lucinda Murley from LCP Delta about the evolving role of vehicle-to-grid (V2G) and residential flexibility in the energy transition. They explore how EVs are shifting from passive demand to flexible assets that can actively support the electricity system.

We discuss:

  • How residential flexibility is evolving, from smart charging to bi-directional energy flows.
  • What’s really holding V2G back today, from regulation to infrastructure and interoperability.
  • What it will take to scale V2G, and how close we are to mass-market adoption 

What’s one thing you would like listeners to take away from this?

  • V2G has strong potential, but scaling it depends on simple, trusted and automated propositions that work for consumers.
