Nissan powers up UK-based European R&D hub with vehicle-to-grid technology
- Nissan Technical Centre Europe becomes the first of Nissan’s European facilities to install vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology
- The installation at the site is part of Nissan’s commitment to roll out V2G technology and energy storage solutions at all major facilities in Europe
- Nissan has partnered with energy company Enel to develop and distribute V2G chargers
Cranfield, #uk, 4th November 2016: Nissan has announced today that its UK-based European R&D facility, #nissan Technical Centre Europe (NTCE) has become the first #nissan entity in the company’s network of European facilities to install vehicle-to-grid technology.
Developed by #nissan in partnership with multinational energy provider Enel, eight V2G chargers have been installed at the site and will be available for all NTCE employees to use. The V2G chargers work with Nissan’s electric vehicles (EVs) to provide an intelligent energy management system capable of both charging the vehicles and allowing the cars to give stored energy from the vehicle’s battery back to the grid to help stabilise demand.
The move marks an important step in the company’s plans to make its Intelligent Mobility vision a reality in Europe. The integration of V2G technology brings to life Nissan’s Intelligent Mobility vision, demonstrating how zero-emission vehicles such as the 100 percent electric #nissan #leaf and e-NV200 and energy management technologies can work in tandem to create a cleaner, more efficient energy network.
Francisco Carranza, Director of Energy Services, #nissan Europe, said: “Nissan has always been at the forefront of #ev technology development and we’re excited to be using our expertise to help change the way people consume energy. Through the integration of #nissan EVs we can help shape a society whose energy use is sustainable, efficient and affordable. It could change the rules of the game and make energy cheaper for everyone.”
David Moss, Vice President, Vehicle Design & Development, NTCE said: “The installation of the V2G chargers at NTCE is a significant moment for us. It gives us the opportunity to showcase to the world how the energy management systems #nissan is developing can work in a real-life business situation. Integrating it into our own facilities demonstrates the confidence we have in the technology and our steadfast belief that our electric vehicles can play a pivotal role in developing an ecosystem of technologies that work seamlessly together to create sustainable and efficient solutions for the future.”
Today’s news follows the announcement in August that #nissan and Enel secured their first commercial V2G customer in Europe. Enel has installed ten V2G units at the headquarters of Danish utility company, Frederiksberg Forsyning, making it the first business to commercially integrate and host the V2G units.
