Revolutionising Energy with Vehicle-to-Grid Technology

Leading the V2G Movement in Australia
We’re proud to be at the forefront of Australia’s most innovative V2G projects.
Alongside major projects, JET Charge has also conducted V2G trials in residential properties across SA, WA, and parts of NSW, though none have taken place in VIC, NT, or QLD to date.

When will V2G be available in Australia?
Standards Australia have recently made changes to the national technical standards. From 2025, new products and vehicles that arrive will be V2G compatible.
Currently, it is an evolving technology seen mostly in pilot projects due to high costs and specific requirements. V2G equipment is only approved for installation in South Australia, with other regions awaiting distributor approvals via CEC. Chris Bowen, the Federal Minister for Climate Change and Energy, has announced that the national technical standard has recently been updated relating to V2G chargers. The CEC can now certify chargers, enabling EV owners to install V2G approved chargers in the CEC-certified database.

Latest Developments in V2G Technology
In Australia, although the CEC can now certify V2G chargers, it is yet to certify any. JET Charge CEO, Tim Washington, anticipates the first V2G chargers will go on sale within the first six months of 2025. Globally, manufacturers of bi-directional chargers are still in the testing phase with manufacturers.
Meanwhile, Wallbox has discontinued the Quasar 1 bidirectional charger, previously the only certified option in Australia, with limited stock remaining in South Australia. Wallbox is focusing on the Quasar 2, set for release in the coming year, with an Australian launch date yet to be confirmed.

Frequently asked questions about V2G
CHAdeMO is a DC-specific fast charging plug used primarily by Japanese manufacturers.
CCS ‘Combined Charging System’ is a plug design that allows regular AC charging and fast DC charging with the same plug.
Currently, the Wallbox Quasar 1 is only compatible with electric cars that use the CHAdeMO plug. Since the release of the Quasar 1 in 2020, the standard in Australia has shifted to the CCS plug. As a result, vehicles entering the Australian market will use a CCS plug. The Quasar 2 will support the CCS plug format, meaning a wider range of vehicles.
There are a few factors that determine when V2G technology, like the Quasar 2, will be available for general use in Australia. This includes distribution network approval and the availability of CCS2 V2G compatible vehicles in Australia.
Currently, due to a lack of a specific CEC certification and approval process for V2G, V2G technology requires individual approval by distribution network services providers (DNSP) and regulatory bodies for installation and use in each state. Each DNSP has its own approval process and requirements, so approval by one DNSP or in one state does not apply to the others, as was the case with the Wallbox Quasar’s approval in South Australia. Quasar 2 will have to repeat the approval process in South Australia.
Upon the release of the Quasar 2 in Australia, JET Charge will work with the appropriate DNSPs and regulatory bodies to obtain approval for installation and use in each state.
Whilst there are other manufacturers of V2G chargers in other markets around the world, the Wallbox Quasar is the only bidirectional charger with the necessary certification work required to sell in Australia at this stage.
JET Charge is working with our brand partners to bring more V2G capable hardware to Australia.
EVs have some of the largest batteries in use today. With bi-directional charging, your EV can use solar power to charge during the day and then discharge at night for free vehicle to home power. Vehicle to grid is the key to zero cost mobility by utilising free solar energy efficiently.
‘Vehicle to Load’ or V2L is currently available on vehicles like the Hyundai IONIQ 5 and the KIA EV6 and differs from V2G as it is intended for use with appliances rather than as something that interacts with the grid or your home.
Currently the Nissan Leaf, Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV and Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross are the only EVs on the market that will accept V2G.
