Can EVs Stabilize The Grid With Smart Charging And V2G?
In this episode of Recall Roadmap with Morgan, we break down whether electric cars overload the grid or actually help it. You’ll see how simple smart charging on a time‑of‑use plan lowers your bill and reduces evening peaks, plus the real-world state of vehicle‑to‑grid, costs, export caps, battery health, and warranty fine print.
🗒️ What You’ll Learn:
How smart charging shifts load to cheap off‑peak hours to save money fast
The difference between V2L and V2G and when each makes sense
Real costs of bidirectional hardware and installation
Export limits on single‑phase service and what that means for payouts
Battery health best practices and warranty cautions
A step‑by‑step setup you can do this week
🔑 Key Highlights/Points:
Blackouts or battery? Why EVs can shave the evening spike
Smart charging first: low risk, high control, no new hardware
V2L equals portable outlet; V2G equals grid‑tied export with approvals
Typical home export limited around five kilowatts on single phase
Bidirectional chargers often cost thousands plus installation
Keep discharge shallow, mid‑state‑of‑charge for longevity
