In an Australian first, the REVS project demonstrates how commercially available EVs and
chargers can contribute to energy stability by transferring power back and forth into the grid.
EVs will inject power back into the grid during rare events (to avoid possibility of blackouts)
and the fleet owner will be paid when their vehicles are used for this service.
Employing 51 Nissan LEAF EVs in ACT Government and ActewAGL fleets, the REVS project
seeks to support the reliability and resilience of the electricity grid, unlocking economic benefits
and making electric vehicles a more viable and appealing transport option for fleet operators. The Interim Social Report released in May 2021 has more details https://arena.gov.au/assets/2021/07/revs-interim-social-report.pdf .
