Myenergi reveals plans for vehicle-to-grid home charger

British EV charging firm Myenergi has begun work on a new vehicle-to-grid (V2G) home charger.

It claims that the device, which is due to launch in 2025, will be the UK’s first mass-market V2G-capable domestic wallbox and will arrive at the same time as fully V2G capable models such as the Renault 5.

The Stallingborough-based firm plans to introduce the V2G EV charger to sit above the standard zappi in its product range and alongside its range of power diverter and home battery systems.

V2G technology allows EV owners to send power back from their car’s battery to their home or to the wider energy grid, potential saving or even making them money. Until recently, it has been limited to very expensive DC hardware but Myenergi plans to introduced a more affordable AC solution.

Lee Sutton, co-founder and chief product officer at Myenergi: “Our purpose is to remove the barrier to a greener future and we see the current limitations around V2G technology as one of those barriers. By offering an innovative AC V2G solution for the home, we can bring this great technology to a greater number of customers.”

Jordan Brompton, co-founder and chief marketing officer at myenergi, added: “Sitting above the zappi in the myenergi product portfolio, our new V2G charger will prove the perfect choice for those who want to power their home using the available energy stored in their EV battery, as well as those who want to support the grid through attractive export tariffs.

“We know that vehicle manufacturers are pursuing the AC pathway to deliver V2G functionality, so we are confident that our new product will fit seamlessly into their development programmes.”
