Industry jargon

V2X

Also called vehicle-to-everything

V2X is an umbrella term for vehicle-to-everything energy use cases in which an EV can provide electrical energy beyond normal one-way charging.

It includes vehicle-to-grid, vehicle-to-home and vehicle-to-building applications. The exact boundary of V2X terminology varies across the industry, so the specific destination for exported power should be stated where possible.

ISO 15118-20 supports communication for bidirectional power transfer, but a working V2X system also depends on compatible power electronics, installation design and local grid rules.
