How Can Vehicle-to-Grid Enhance the Business Model of Car Sharing Compared to Electric and Conventional Schemes?

Due to the high importance of access and egress times as well as freefloating, the public charging infrastructure is as crucial to V2G car sharing as chargers in the depots of the operators. As remuneration does not significantly influence the subjects' utilities but cost does, operators might want to integrate the former and the latter such that customers transparently observe the total costs. Seeking high ranges, even largely exceeding trip lengths, requires a concise booking and charging management system. The results clearly show that there is high potential for this kind of car sharing, paving the way for integrated energy systems. 3 Sample and results 5 References 1 Benefits of vehicle-to-grid (V2G) car sharing 2 Stated preference experiment Two main strategies to decarbonize individualized passenger road transport are electrification and car sharing (1). Electrification requires low-carbon electricity to contribute to decarbonisation. The intermittency of renewable energies and the additional load of electric vehicles (EVs) challenge the electricity system. Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) offers bidirectional electricity flows between the vehicle and the grid (2,3), thus supporting the integration of renewables and electric vehicles by selling services to network operators (4).
