Myenergi Announces the First Home V2G Charger in the UK

British Company Myenergi Developing Groundbreaking Home Charger with Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) Technology. Myenergi, a British company, is working on a revolutionary home charger incorporating vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology. This device is set to become the first mass-market product of its kind in the UK. Its launch is planned for 2025 and will coincide with the release of fully compatible electric vehicle models, such as the Renault 5.

V2G Technology – A Revolution in Energy Management

Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) is an innovative technology enabling electric vehicle owners to transfer energy stored in their vehicle’s battery back to their homes or the power grid. This solution offers users not only potential savings but also the opportunity to earn revenue by selling surplus energy.

Until now, V2G technology has largely relied on expensive direct current (DC) devices. Myenergi plans to introduce a more affordable alternative — an alternating current (AC)-based device. Based in Stallingborough, the company announced that the new charger would take precedence in its product lineup over the standard Zappi model and other solutions like energy management systems and home batteries.

Comments from Myenergi Experts

Lee Sutton, Myenergi’s co-founder and Chief Product Officer, explained:
“Our goal is to remove barriers to a greener future. Current limitations of V2G technology are one such barrier. By offering an innovative AC V2G solution for homes, we can make this technology accessible to a wider audience.”

Jordan Brompton, co-founder and Chief Marketing Officer, added:
“Our new V2G charger, positioned higher in our lineup than the Zappi model, will be the perfect choice for those looking to power their homes using energy stored in their EV batteries and for those keen to support the grid through attractive export tariffs. With car manufacturers increasingly developing AC-based V2G technology, we are confident our product aligns perfectly with their development plans.”

A New Chapter in V2G Adoption

Myenergi’s announcement represents a significant step toward popularizing V2G technology among domestic users. Currently, such solutions are limited by high costs and complex infrastructure. Introducing an affordable AC V2G device could substantially enhance the accessibility of this technology, allowing EV owners to integrate further with home energy management systems and power grids.

This development is also promising for Polish consumers. Notably, V2G technology debuted in Poland over two years ago, when Solaris launched bidirectional devices supplied by Medcom. These chargers were adapted for use with renewable energy sources like photovoltaic installations and energy storage systems. Featuring advanced silicon carbide (SiC) technology, they boast exceptionally high efficiency, reducing energy losses by 2% during each charging cycle. Since then, V2G installations have appeared in various locations, though their development in the domestic sector remains limited.
