en.Wedoany.com Reported - Valeo and Nissan have reached an agreement to provide electric vehicle charging solutions for the European market, starting in the UK.
The partnership introduces two complementary solutions: a smart unidirectional (V1G) AC charging station compliant with the UK EVSCP (Electric Vehicle Smart Charging Point) standard, and an advanced bidirectional (V2G) AC charging station that supports Nissan's vehicle-to-everything energy services offered to customers. Valeo expands its presence in the EV market by providing electrification technology for Nissan's integrated energy ecosystem.
Electric vehicles are evolving from mere transportation into active participants in the energy ecosystem. Nissan owners can upgrade from optimized unidirectional charging to smart bidirectional energy exchange. Valeo's charging solutions cover all scenario needs, including connected unidirectional (V1G) charging, which adapts automatically to grid signals and electricity prices in compliance with the UK EVSCP standard, allowing owners to optimize charging costs and support grid stability without complex hardware configurations. Another solution is smart bidirectional (V2G - vehicle-to-grid) charging, enabling continuous intelligent communication between EVs and the grid, feeding vehicle battery power back to the grid during peak demand to reduce costs, balance the grid, and create value for owners. Valeo's bidirectional (V2G) charging technology turns Nissan EVs into mobile energy storage stations capable of supplying power to the broader grid.
This solution helps owners charge at the lowest electricity prices to reduce costs, use stored vehicle energy to power their homes during peak pricing periods, or maximize the use of their own solar power generation. By participating in grid balancing, owners directly support the integration of renewable energy into the grid. Commercial rollout will first launch across Nissan's network in the UK, followed by expansion to other European countries.
Isabelle D'Ambrosio, Vice President of Smart Mobility at Valeo, stated that the contract with Nissan represents a decisive step in Valeo's vision for the future of electric mobility, combining the advantages of bidirectional (V2G) charging technology with Nissan's energy ecosystem to redefine the role of EVs as key grid assets. Soufiane El Khomri, Director of Energy Services at Nissan, added that the agreement redefines vehicles from mobility products to energy assets, integrating Valeo's bidirectional (V2G) charging technology to provide European customers with tools to actively manage energy, reduce costs, and support grid resilience.
