A thank you to all our V2G trialists: what happens next?

Here’s everything you need to know about what happens to your charger, the V2G app, and more once your trial ends. 

It’s been a fantastic few years for our V2G trial and we’ve learned so much about both the technology and the part it'll play in the future of energy.

If you’ve been involved in the trial, we want to say a big thank you – we couldn’t have done it without you! And, remember, the charger is yours to keep once the trial ends. After all, you’ve helped both us and the world of V2G tech a whole lot!

Since it’s yours, you decide who powers it. So while we hope you’ll stay with us, if your trial has ended, you’re welcome to change who supplies your home.

We’re proud to power your home and EV

We hope you’ll stay when your trial ends, but if you did decide to leave OVO Energy, while you’ll keep your charger, you won’t be able to log into the V2G app powered by Kaluza. This means your charger will lose its smart features and you won’t earn OVO V2G credits.

We’ll also have to delete any historical charging data stored on your account in line with our privacy policy – so if you’d like to keep it, we recommend downloading your data in the app or taking a screenshot ahead of switching away from us. 

As the owner of the charger, you’ll be responsible for taking care of repairs and maintenance. If you have any problems with your charger, you’ll need to get in touch with Indra at support@indra.co.uk. 

Stay with us for great export rates

We hope you’ve enjoyed being part of our early V2G community. If your trial has ended or will end soon, it’s really important to us that you keep on getting a great deal selling energy back to the grid.

That’s why we’ve recently been in touch to tell you about our new V2G export rates, which you can earn up to 31 December 2022. 

Our export rate from 1 July 2022 

• Your import rate + 11p if you also have solar panels

• Your import rate + 15p if you don’t have solar panels

Stay with us on the journey to a greener future

We know a smarter, connected energy grid powered by more renewable energy is one of the best ways to fight the climate crisis. That’s why our V2G trial is just one of the ways we’re helping to get more green energy tech into people’s homes.

If you’re interested in taking part in future tech trials, please visit our website to register your interest and we’ll be in touch.

For now, that’s everything – we hope you enjoy using your V2G charger for years to come!
