Canada: Hydro-Quebec launches electric vehicle energy transfer program

Energy producer Hydro-Quebec has announced it will partner with GRIDbot Canada to develop a new bi-directional charging station for an experimental electric vehicle program, HydroWorld.com has learned.

The exchange process, called “vehicle-to-grid and vehicle-to-home” (V2G-V2H), would allow energy from the electrical grid to be transferred to the plug-in vehicles and vice versa, potentially allowing electric vehicle owners to use the energy stored in the batteries as temporary power sources.
Hydro-Quebec says its research institute, IREQ, will assemble an electric test vehicle through its subsidiary, TM4, that will then be integrated with the charging station built by GRIDbot.
