Volvo's XC90 may even offer the option to use electric cars during power outages to supply energy to your home.
Recognising the broader potential of electric cars, Volvo is introducing Volvo Cars Energy Solutions, a new business unit. This unit will offer energy storage and charging-related technologies and services, bridging the gap between Volvo vehicles, customers' daily lives, energy efficiency, and society as a whole.
Collaborating with Göteborg Energi Nät AB in Sweden, Volvo is launching one of the initial vehicle-to-grid pilot programmes, testing V2G technologies on the local energy grid and in a residential setting with actual customers. The programme employs a cost-effective AC wallbox, aiming to accelerate the widespread adoption of the technology.
