V2G in Public Transport: The Next Frontier in Smart City Infrastructure

The global Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) market is poised for significant expansion, with its valuation projected to grow from US$ 8.2 billion in 2025 to US$ 46.9 billion by 2032 , reflecting a CAGR of 28.3% . As the world accelerates toward electrification and decarbonization, V2G technology is emerging as a crucial enabler for grid resilience, renewable energy integration, and energy cost optimization. V2G systems allow electric vehicles (EVs) to not only draw power from the grid but also return surplus electricity during peak demand. This two-way interaction enhances grid flexibility, reduces energy waste, and introduces new revenue-generating opportunities for EV owners and operators. The market is also witnessing the rise of Vehicle-to-Home (V2H) , Vehicle-to-Building (V2B) , and Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) applications, offering decentralized energy solutions that reduce dependence on centralized power grids.
