Nissan and Sibeg, the bottler for Coca-Cola Company, have formed an agreement to create an electric ecosystem in the Region of Sicily consisting of vehicles and infrastructures. For Nissan, the new ecosystem is an application of Nissan Intelligent Mobility, the company's strategy to change how cars are driven, powered and integrated into Society - Dave :)

U.S. pilot program leverages energy stored in the Nissan LEAF to help power buildings during peak-load times, reducing costly demand charges as part of new global Nissan Energy initiative
Nissan Energy establishes new standards for connecting vehicles to energy systems through three key areas: Nissan Energy Supply, Nissan Energy Share and Nissan Energy Storage.

This is a really interesting project, Nissan is stepping up the competition and they are working on promoting a lower-cost energy through their products. I am so excited about what is in store for us, as what the article said this is not just about driving anymore but it about offering more to their customers.

It's interesting but this should be being undertaken on a collaborative basis - you couldn't have just one manufacturer going it alone, and, like the smart meter debacle, you need commonality between technologies.

Gloucester, perhaps I am reading this wrong but it appears to me that Nissan is not going alone as it has its fingers in many pies with other parties and countries according to this writeup - If I have got it wrong Sorry ! Dave :)

Nissan Energy Supply, Nissan Energy Share and Nissan Energy Storage.
High-profile Nissan Energy initiatives extend to a variety of locations, including Nissan's North American headquarters:
- Franklin, Tennessee: Nissan North America will be piloting the use of LEAF vehicles to assist in powering its headquarters facilities during peak electrical demand times, anticipating significant cost savings
- Hagen, Germany: LEAF vehicles will be used as a reserve for the German electricity grid, in an innovative pilot project involving Nissan, technology company The Mobility House, energy supplier ENERVIE and transmission system operator Amprion#
- Japan: Nissan is working with partners such as electric and telecom companies, conducting field tests of vehicle-to-grid and virtual power plant systems to confirm and promote opportunities for electric vehicles to assist with managing energy

Nissan has already carried out Energy Share pilot programs in Japan, the U.S., Europe and other markets, collaborating with several companies and organizations. Once the pilot tests are completed, Nissan will be ready to rapidly commercialize the systems.
- Vehicle-to-home (V2H) : Nissan is working with partners to bring inexpensive equipment to the market to popularize V2H. Using V2H, owners of Nissan electric vehicles can use their cars as a power source for the household to save money on electricity bills, or as backup power during blackouts or emergencies. This allows the usage of renewable energy when available, or when electricity is cheaper.
- Vehicle-to-building (V2B) : Similar to V2H, V2B makes use of electric vehicle batteries to store energy for buildings and businesses. However, a V2B system can involve hundreds of vehicles to realize major cost savings for a company. Full-scale trials of V2B systems have already started in many countries, and Nissan has been working with partners with the aim of bringing the systems to market in 2019.
- Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) : Nissan has formed partnerships with utility companies and governments to harness V2G capabilities. In trials in Europe, Nissan cars are providing multiple services to the electricity grid – helping balance energy networks and incorporate renewable energy. Working with partners, Nissan is piloting ways to let customers earn additional income by sharing energy from their vehicles when they are not being otherwise used, without affecting the customer's mobility needs or the health of the vehicles.

These are some of the Nissan Energy Storage programs to date:
- Japan : In 2010, Nissan joined forces with Sumitomo Corp. to establish 4R Energy Corp., which repurposes lithium-ion batteries from electric cars for new uses. The first 4R Energy plant opened its doors in March 2018. By using the battery-refabricating capabilities of 4R Energy Corp., Nissan is able to reuse batteries for EV applications, store energy or power heavy equipment, among other uses.
- Europe : Nissan has been reusing electric vehicle batteries as part of an advanced home power solution. In the U.K, the company has combined that energy storage with advanced solar panels. In June, Nissan inaugurated Europe's biggest energy storage system at Holland's Johan Cruyff Arena. Powered by 148 Nissan LEAF batteries, the system operates independently from the main power grid.
- South America : Nissan Brazil and the Federal University of Santa Catarina have signed a memorandum of intent to test solutions and future applications for used EV batteries.

I don't see any mention there of working with other car companies though.

I'm assuming we all know that first gen smart meters don't work with other suppliers.

And there are several different car charging plug/socket combinations meaning drivers have to have multiple leads and/or drive round to find a compatible charger.

Imagine what the internet would be like if there were several different systems in use.

This Project is interesting and has been around for some time now in fact since 2010 - Dave 😉

“4R Energy is now putting everything in place to provide the same "4R" support – recycle, refabricate, reuse, resell – for the next generation of electric vehicles from Nissan, starting with the new all-electric Ariya. Already from the very beginning more than a decade ago, the team at Nissan was thinking how one of the most crucial parts of an EV – its battery – could play a role well beyond the lifetime of the car it powers. When an old EV battery reaches the 4R factory, it is first graded. Sometimes, the battery components are as good as new; they get an "A" grade and can be reused in new high-performance battery units for a new EV. With a "B" grade, the batteries are powerful enough for industrial machinery like forklifts and large stationary energy storage.”

Saw this on the Beeb - Dave 😃

“A pilot scheme run by energy company OVO is allowing some electric car owners to use their vehicle to power their homes.
Owners can buy electricity from the grid at off-peak rates to charge their vehicle and whatever is leftover in the car’s battery can be used to power their homes or sell it back to the grid at peak times when prices are higher.”
