The period belongs to EV vehicles as the nation is witnessing an increase in the demand for EV vehicles as people are realizing its utilities and benefits in the longer run. The sales of EV vehicles are increasing year by year since people started to move from the orthodox concept of buying fossil-fuel energy-based vehicles.

There was a misconception regarding electric vehicles such as EV vehicles are worse for the climate than fossil-fuel cars because of battery manufacturing, the range of EV vehicles, and the safety of EVs as compared to EV vehicles, EV vehicles are worse for the climate fossil-fuel cars because of power emissions and lastly, importantly the charging points and the price of electricity the consumer has to pay to get his battery fully charged and many more issues.

The last issue is the main problem faced by a large number of consumers at a large scale the amount they have to pay for charging their battery where to get their battery charged, how often they need to charge it, how long the life of EV battery last,

Pricing Of Electricity Charges For Ev Vehicles

Is it possible to charge an electric automobile at home?
It can indeed be charged at home. Although you may use an AC outlet to charge with a Type 1 AC charger, the rate of 3 kWh is too low. It is quicker to use a Type 2 or wall box charger, which is often installed by auto manufacturers (at no cost at the moment) in homes. Other quicker chargers exist in addition to these.

Any other places I may change it?
Using a wall box charger, you may also charge it at your place of business in the same way. Additionally, organizations like Tata, EESL (Energy Efficiency Services Ltd), BOLT, Indian Oil Corp., EVRE, and Kazam, among others, are building a nationwide network of public electric charging stations. This method of charging is less expensive and quicker.

How frequently should I charge the vehicle?
According to the Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP), the more expensive, larger-battery electric vehicles have a range of 400 km whereas the majority of contemporary electric vehicles have a range of 220-280 km.

How much time does it take the automobile to charge?
An electric automobile may charge to 80% of its capacity in anywhere between 60 minutes and 8�9 hours, depending on the type, size, and speed of the charging station. Rapid chargers, on the other hand, let you cut this time down to 30 to 40 minutes.

What would charging at home and in public stations cost?
The typical battery capacity ranges from 20 to 45 kWh. If you charge at home, the price will depend on your state's electricity pricing, which might be anywhere between Rs 8 and Rs 10 per unit. While the residential pricing ranges from Rs 3�8 per unit, the cost at charging stations in Delhi is Rs 4-4.5 kWh. This implies that charging your EV at a charging station will cost you between Rs 80 and Rs 202, whereas charging it at home would cost you between Rs 160 and Rs 450. You would pay between Rs 300 and Rs 675 since charging outlets in Mumbai cost Rs 15 per unit.

Therefore, the electricity charges may vary from state to state, depending upon the size of the battery, and the charger that is being used at public charging stations as well as in private space. In common the price for charging electric vehicles may vary from state to state depending upon the state policies. For Ex- The cost of charging an EV in Mumbai is

charging of EVs and Rupees 5 per unit for high-tension units.

The government under its initiative has launched a site that goes by the name e-AMRIT that displays various subheads such as the type of charger, the capacity of the battery, vehicle segment, and state in which one is residing and will calculate the amount of electricity charges one consumer has to pay.

What Is Vehicle-To-Grid, Exactly?

The electrical grid may receive electricity from an electric vehicle's (EV) battery thanks to a mechanism called vehicle-to-grid, or V2G for short. Using V2G technology, an EV battery may be discharged based on numerous indicators, such as nearby energy generation or consumption.

V2G technology, which transfers energy from the car's battery back to the power grid while also charging the EV battery, makes bi-directional charging possible. Even while "bi-directional charging" and "V2G" are commonly used interchangeably, there isn't much of a difference between the two.

Bi-directional charging refers to two-way charging (charging and discharging), whereas V2G technology only allows energy to flow from the car's battery back to the grid.

Why Should V2G Matter To You?

To cut a long tale short, V2G enables our energy system to balance an increasing amount of renewable energy, hence reducing climate change. Decarbonization, energy efficiency, and electrification, however, are three things that must occur in the energy and transportation sectors to successfully address the climate catastrophe.

Decarbonization, as it relates to energy production, refers to the use of renewable energy sources like wind and solar. The issue of energy storage is now raised. Wind and solar power work differently from fossil fuels, which may be thought of as a type of energy storage because they release energy when consumed.

Either use the energy immediately once it is created or store it for later use. The creation of renewable energy increases the instability of our energy system, necessitating the development of novel strategies for balancing and storing renewable energy.

Concurrently, the transportation industry is reducing carbon emissions as it should. The rising number of EVs on our roadways is a clear indicator of that. The percentage of electric vehicles sold rose from 5% in 2020 to 14% in 2022.

Because they don't require any extra hardware expenditures, EV batteries are by far the most economical type of energy storage. We can use the battery capacity up to 10 times more effectively with V2G than we can with conventional smart charging. Utilizing the existing fleet of cars to its fullest potential is made possible by vehicle-to-grid technology.

Additionally, the number of EVs worldwide by 2030 may reach 250 million. This implies that there will be about 250 million small mobile energy storage units. According to research, EV batteries could be able to fulfill the need for short-term energy storage by the end of this decade.

How Does V2G Perform?

When implementing V2G in practice, it is essential to make sure that EV drivers have enough power in their vehicles when they require it. For instance, a driver has to be able to get to and from work at any time.

When they want to unplug the car, the EV driver must be able to indicate, together with the recommended battery level at that time. This is a key requirement for any charging method, including V2G.

When using smart charging, the battery is fully charged, therefore balancing the grid is not an option. Grid balancing can continue when utilizing V2G the entire time the automobile is connected.

Private charging (at home or the office) is best for V2G since the car is connected to the charger for an extended period. This enables the charging and discharging to be managed at the electrical system's most advantageous periods.

The Advantages Of Vehicle-To-Grid

Summary of the advantages based on your goals:

1. Reduce fleets' overall cost of ownership (TCO)
2. OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) of cars can sell more valuable automobiles
3. Parties in the energy market can trade and balance their needs best.
4. Network operators can stabilize the grid and maximize investments.

Conclusion
The cost of electricity for recharging the batteries of the EV must be subsided or backed by the government so that a huge amount of the population starts moving towards using EVs. There has been a rise in the sales of EVs in the last few years but the number will significantly increase if is backed by the government and the government provides some sort of assistance or aid in providing electricity.
