Vehicle-to-building

Also called: V2B Vehicle-to-building, or V2B, lets compatible EVs supply electrical energy to a commercial or other building through bidirectional charging equipment. The stored vehicle energy becomes one controllable asset within the site's electrical system. V2B can be used to reduce site peaks, support local loads or coordinate with generation and stationary storage. The available energy depends on how many vehicles are connected and how much charge their operating schedule allows the site to use. Building export, islanding and network-interconnection requirements still depend on the electrical design and local rules. The term describes the use case, not automatic permission to operate it.
