Our V2G trial has moved to the next phase and is no longer accepting new participants - read more about this here.
Export credits applied to customers using the Vehicle to Grid charger will be paid at the following rates outlined here
Hi, I finally had my V2G installed yesterday after over 6 months of delays (half due to Covid). I got my Nissan Leaf specifically having being accepted provisionally on to the trial.
I did not expect the unlooping work to be carried out by Western Power, much less the lockdown. My 3pin through the window never once made it without cutting out every hour or so which on a 13 hr full charge (or any proportion thereof) is annoying at best. So I've been left with using my local Asda when shopping to keep her going.
Looking forward to finding out how much people have actually saved on bills from this setup, and if anyone knows, how does the government benefit from this as it seems quite a lot to sponsor these chargers and related groundwork in my case(?)
Took 3 engineers to fit it* to between 930-2200hrs with a 4th coming to fit an isolator. App didn't work straight away as they couldn't commission my charger as it was too late and staff at the ranch had gone home; was all sorted next morning however.
*Two came to support as their jobs had finished/aborted and the work didn't really start until midday when the isolator chap had finished up.
