Vehicle-To-Grid
V2G Australia
Power Your EV. Power the Grid.
Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology is transforming how Australians think about energy.
What Is Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G)?
Where V2G Stands Today
V2G is real – but it’s not widely available just yet.
Here’s where things are at:
- The standard is now in place: The Clean Energy Council (CEC) can now certify V2G-compatible chargers
- No V2G chargers are certified yet, but brands like Wallbox are preparing launches
- Only a few EVs currently support V2G, like the Nissan LEAF and select Mitsubishi models
- Wallbox Quasar 2, compatible with the CCS2 plug, is expected in Australia in 2025
The tech is here. The rollout is underway. And JET Charge is helping lead the way.

FAQs About V2G in Australia
It’s when your EV can both charge and discharge – allowing it to act as a battery for your home or the grid.
V2G powers your home or the grid. V2L (Vehicle-to-Load) powers individual appliances or tools – great for camping or emergencies. V2L is currently available on vehicles like the Hyundai IONIQ 5 and the KIA EV6.
CHAdeMO is a plug type used in some older Japanese EVs, like the Nissan LEAF. It was the standard when the Wallbox Quasar 1 launched, which is why that charger only works with CHAdeMO-compatible vehicles.
But things have moved on. Most EVs coming into Australia now use the CCS2 plug. That’s why the next-generation Quasar 2 will support CCS2 – making it compatible with a much wider range of vehicles.
V2G is progressing, but a few key pieces still need to fall into place:
– The Wallbox Quasar 2 needs to be certified by the Clean Energy Council (CEC)
– EVs that support CCS2-based V2G need to be more widely available
– Each state’s energy distributor must approve the technology for use
The tech is here. Now it’s about ticking the final boxes.
Even with a national standard in place, V2G still needs the green light from each state’s distribution network service provider (DNSP). Every DNSP has its own approval process – so being approved in one state doesn’t guarantee approval in another.
That’s why the Wallbox Quasar 1 was only available in South Australia – and why the Quasar 2 will go through a similar process, state by state.
Right now, the Wallbox Quasar 1 is the only V2G charger that made it through certification – but it’s no longer in production and only works with CHAdeMO.
We’re actively working with other manufacturers to bring more V2G-ready hardware to Australia. Watch this space.
Think of your EV as a battery on wheels.
With V2G, you can:
– Charge your car during the day (using solar if you’ve got it)
– Discharge back to your home at night
– Cut down your energy bills and reduce peak-time reliance on the grid
That’s the path to lower energy costs – and a smarter, more sustainable setup at home.
Currently:
– Nissan LEAF
– Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV
– Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross
Newer CCS2 vehicles will likely support V2G once certified chargers arrive.
