CIMC Energy Storage's Co-developed "Ultra-Fast Charging V2G Project" Selected as One of China's Inaugural National Pilot Initiatives for Large-scale Vehicle-to-Grid Interaction Applications

Recently, four ministerial bodies including the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) and the National Energy Administration (NEA) jointly issued the Notice on Announcing the First Batch of Large-scale Vehicle-to-Grid Interaction Application Pilots, designating 9 pilot cities and 30 pilot projects nationwide. "Multi-Energy Low-Carbon Integrated V2G Pilot Project" (the “V2G Pilot Project”) of CIMC Energy Storage (a subsidiary of CIMC Group) has been successfully included in the list. This achievement will not only provide substantial support for the commercialization of V2G technology in the future, but also position the initiative to further accelerate the integrated development of new energy and transportation systems.

It is reported that the selected V2G pilot projects, situated in Chongqing Municipality, is collaboratively developed by CIMC Energy Storage alongside industry leaders including CAERI New Energy and Beijing LynkVertx. Anchored in the dual principles of “safety and efficiency”, this project seeks to establish a closed-loop multi-energy supply and consumption ecosystem while developing a safety alert mechanism integrating vehicles, piles, and grids, and a quantitative system for key indicators such as high-efficiency energy utilization, so as to ensure robust promotion of V2G technologies.

The vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology constitutes a pivotal component in urban energy infrastructure upgrade. This technology enables bidirectional energy exchange between electric vehicles and power grids through intelligent charging piles, which means that new energy vehicles are transformed into "power banks". Therefore, the system charges during off-peak hours for energy storage and discharges during peak demand periods, achieving flexible energy dispatching, as well as grid operational cost reduction and efficiency enhancement.

It is worth mentioning that the demonstration site of this V2G Pilot Project deploys CIMC Energy Storage's integrated ultra-fast-storage equipment, creating a comprehensive ultra-fast charging station integrated PV, storage, and charging through photovoltaic installations on the station canopies. The charging terminals achieve maximum power output of 600kW. Furthermore, the V2G interaction terminals and charging inspection terminals equipped for this project provide charging inspection capabilities, being able to generate intelligent battery diagnostic reports for V2G charging piles.

As a trailblazer in the new energy sector, CIMC Energy Storage persistently explores new frontiers in green energy. Currently, CIMC Energy Storage has engineered diversified solutions focusing on scenarios including virtual power plants, ultra-fast charging stations, and zero-carbon industrial parks, injecting powerful impetus into the achievement of regional dual-carbon goals and the green transformation of the industry. Moving forward, CIMC Energy Storage will remain committed to advancing technological innovations and product research and development, expanding the application and development horizons of energy storage technologies.
