Abstract
Electric Vehicles, especially electric vehicles with bidirectional Vehicle-toGrid (V2G) connectivity can serve as electric energy storage assets. Following the dramtatic increase in electric vehicle registrations in 2022 there can be little doubt that electric vehicles will become a major portion of the entire light duty transportation fleet.
This paper endeavors to project the growing electric energy storage capability of this asset. It shows that the storage available form the EV fleet may grow to match the daily output of projected solar PV generation in the 2025-2030 time period and greatly exceed the requirements of the EV fleet itself.
This present the possibility of massive renewable energy capability, leveled and controlled by even more massive electric vehicle fleet storage capability, which can offset its intermittent and uncontrolled nature, as a future zero emission energy grid
