Auto brand Nissan has created an energy storage system for the home using a recycled car battery, and announced plans for a trial in the UK that will allow electric vehicle owners to sell power back to the grid.
Nissan announced its vehicle-to-grid (V2G) trial – the first of its kind in the UK – at an event in London yesterday before revealing a slim wall-mounted battery pack for the home called xStorage.
One hundred V2G units will be installed across the country for the trial, where owners of the Nissan LEAF car and e-NV200 electric van will be able to plug their vehicles in and sell stored energy back to the National Grid.
This model could, if scaled up, provide a stable energy infrastructure in the future, according to Nissan and power company Enel.
