What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Ministers are reportedly considering incentives for carmakers in Great Britain to fit their latest electric vehicles with Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology. This technology allows drivers to sell unused energy back to the grid during periods of high demand, potentially earning them hundreds of pounds per year. Manufacturers who adopt V2G could receive 'credits' toward complying with the Zero Emission Vehicle mandate.
