Driving change: How EVs could help balance our grid

January 21, 2026

Ben Bowler writes about innovative ideas around harnessing electric vehicles in communities for TransportXtra

Drivers are increasingly embracing electric vehicles (EVs), and it’s in their growing use we can find a forward-thinking opportunity.

Providing communities with vehicle to grid (V2G) charging points allows the power stored in an EV battery to flow back to the grid when it’s not being used—feeding it back to the local distribution network to alleviate grid constraints and improve renewable energy integration in the areas where they’re plugged in.
