The new Renault 5 EV will be fitted with vehicle-to-grid charging, promising to save customers 50% in charge costs
It will charge using A/C only and is equipped on all 5 EV models as standard, with customers able to switch the system on and off as they like.
Customers can charge their car using an app downloaded to their phone and will be able to tell it what time of day they want to leave the house, and how much charge they want in the battery by that time. Making use of Mobilize's algorithm and its energy partner, The Mobilize House, the car will be charged according to when electricity is at its cheapest rate, and discharged from the car to the house and national grid when electricity is at peak demand and more expensive.
Making use of the private and public grid, energy will be fed first to the home and thereafter back to the grid. At any one time, a maximum of 11kW will be taken from the car and fed to both house and national grid. Alain Thoral, Director of Mobilize Energy Solutions said:"A customer who plugs in during nine hours a day will manage to save 50% of the recharge cost of the car for a year. So, for a customer who drives 50,000km over one year, 7,500km will be for free." This 50% saving is applicable to a 7.4kW single-phase UK charger, and is calculated according to charging at the most expensive time.
