Nissan V2G grids up

Nissan proposes that the V2G will be sold like mobile phone plans, making it affordable for everyone and allowing customisation.

By 2030, Nissan's young designers expect the global highways to be fully electrified and our road networks will have grid-like motorways.

For that reason they have come up with their own creation of a new ultra-efficient, high-speed network called the ‘Grid’. Nissan's Grid-compliant car for 2030 is the V2G - for Vehicle-to-Grid.

With the Nissan Leaf leading the company's electric car push, the designers think EVs like the V2G will be very popular with consumers thanks to their low cost and dynamic styling.

Nissan proposes that the V2G will be sold like mobile phone plans, making it affordable for everyone and allowing customisation. The designers also expect tech-savvy buyers to be able to hack into the Grid system and untap the V2G's performance potential off-line in a completely different vehicle segment.

They have already configured a name for that model, the V2G Unlimited.
