Toyota Motor North America is joining forces with utility provider Potomac Electric (Pepco) to study vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology for electric vehicles (EVs). Pepco, a subsidiary of Exelon, serves the Washington D.C. area and surrounding communities in Maryland.

The collaboration will take place at Pepco’s Watershed Sustainability Center in Montgomery County, Maryland. A bidirectional charger will be used to explore various EV charging and discharging scenarios that demonstrate the benefits of V2G to customers.

The research will focus on a Toyota bZ4X vehicle, analyzing EV owner charging behaviors and driving patterns. According to Toyota, most EV owners charge their vehicles at home overnight when demand for electric power is low.

Christopher Yang, VP of Toyota’s EV Charging Solutions Group, expressed his excitement about the partnership with Pepco, emphasizing the importance of understanding charging and discharging use cases to benefit customers and assist utility providers in managing grid demands.
