Installing a Vehicle to Grid charging point (V2G)

Vehicle to grid technology (V2G) enables energy stored in Electric Vehicles to be fed back into the electricity network (grid) to help supply energy at times of peak demand. We're involved in a number of V2G trials for both domestic, fleet and bus operators.

V2G chargers have the ability to export as well as import power therefore we need to undertake a number of technical assessments before a charger can be installed. 

Depending on the quantity or the size of the V2G chargers you want to install, please complete the application forms below which apply to you. To make it easier for installers, we have created a Smart Connect portal where they can submit applications or notifications for single domestic installations. Smart Connect will automatically assess applications and either issue approval or refer the job to the relevant teams for further assessment. To check if your installation is eligible to be raised on Smart Connect, please visit our Smart Connect page.

If your installation does not meet our Smart Connect criteria or if you have multiple installations, your installer can download and complete the single or multiple installation form below.

To help us understand how the electricity supply is set up at your property, we need a photo of:

• The electricity cable which comes into your property
• The main electricity fuse
•  The electricity meter 
•  The fuse box

We also need :

• A single line diagram of where the electrical equipment listed above are located at your property, and where you want to install your V2G charger
• A letter of authority from the property owner confirming they have given permission for this work
