V2X bidirectional charging leverages energy from a parked EV
to power offboard loads.
V2X Technology Overview
Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G)
• Demand Response (DR): Power exported to grid (“in front of meter”)
• Supports utility grid demand/stability, generates revenue for EV owner  Reduces EV TCO
• Renewable energy integration
Vehicle-to-Building (V2B)
• Demand-Charge Management (DCM): Targets peak loads in buildings, EV
fleet yards, or industrial operations (“behind-the-meter”)
• Reduces costly “demand charges” and supports grid stability
Vehicle-to-Home (V2H)
• Residential emergency backup power
• Renewable energy integration
• Supports grid demand and stability
Fermata Energy
is operating
commercial
V2B and V2G
at multiple
customer sites
across the U.S.
Fermata Energy
will be releasing a
grid-tied V2H
solution.

V2G + V2B Deployment (Rhode Island)
Nissan LEAF earns $4,500+ in Fermata Energy V2X pilot
“The electric vehicle and charger delivered
power for 57 peak hours this summer when
demand was at its highest,” said John Isberg,
Vice President of Customer Sales and
Solutions at National Grid.
“These results help to give us confidence that
electric vehicles can be a reliable partner in
providing a clean and resilient electricity grid
for the future.”
Note: Total = $4,547.05 (4-month DR = $4,325 + DCM = $222.05)

Results achieved in one summer with
One Nissan LEAF (62 kWh) + One FE-15 15kW bidirectional charger
Controlled by Fermata Energy’s proprietary V2X software
Note: Savings are scalable with greater energy and power.

V2B Deployment (Boulder, CO)
“In eleven months of successful
usage, [the City of] Boulder has
saved $2,963.44, an average savings
of almost $270 per month — or,
approximately equal to the monthly
payment for many popular EVs, such
as the Nissan LEAF.”

V2B Technology Saves Almost $3,000 With Nissan LEAF
Results achieved with
One Nissan LEAF (62 kWh) + One FE-15 15kW bidirectional charger
Controlled by Fermata Energy’s proprietary V2X software

VW ID.4 Getting Plug & Charge, Bidirectional Charging This Summer
InsideEVs, Apr. 7, 2021
Starting with the successor to the XC90, we’ll offer bidirectional charging,
allowing customers to offload surplus electricity in their car battery to the
power grid. This means electric Volvo drivers can provide energy to the grid.
