Abstract

The slow and steady transition in the direction of cleaner and green energy sources warrant the application of electric vehicles (EVs) as the mainstream platform for transportation. This investigation highlighted a few significant challenges, which include extreme burden on EV batteries at the time of V2G, the absence of suitable bidirectional charging infrastructure, technological complexities and the likelihood of V2G practices that may prove to be uneconomical and unscheduled. Contemporary research and reports from international agencies are reviewed in order to present probable solutions to the emerging bottlenecks and identify the regions that may require additional research. V2G could hold immense promises when it comes to clean mobility especially with the emergence of novel V2G technologies, however, significant collaboration, funding, and technology maturation are the basic requirements for the success of any relevant schemes.
