Some Massachusetts EV owners will soon be able to earn incentives for sending electricity from their car batteries back to the grid when demand spikes.

Utilities Eversource and National Grid are adding residential vehicle-to-grid (V2G) charging to ConnectedSolutions, their existing virtual power plant programs in Massachusetts. Qualifying customers with V2G-capable EVs can earn incentives by sending stored electricity back to the grid during high-demand periods.

EnergyHub, Sunrun, and The Mobility House are providing the smart-charging and grid-integration tech for the test.

There’s a catch, though: The utilities haven’t yet said which EVs and bidirectional chargers will qualify, when enrollment will open, or how much participating drivers will be paid.
