Mobility
Zürich
As part of the “V2X Suisse” project, along with six other companies, tiko is participating to an innovative approach to stabilizing power grids through the medium of electric vehicles (EVs). Going forward, the idea is that Mobility EVs should be able to provide bidirectional charging – in other words, they will be able to feed energy back into the grid when not being driven. This approach will help stabilize the grid, minimize bottlenecks in the distribution grid, and avoid, reduce or delay the need for expensive grid expansions.
A Mobility EV plugged into a bidirectional charging station can feed up to 20 kilowatts of power back into the grid, contributing to a significant energy supply. This would amount to 60 megawatts across Mobility’s entire car-sharing fleet, greatly supporting the grid and enhancing energy efficiency.
With the tiko home energy management system (HEMS), the owner can optimize their electricity use, save energy, and lower their bills. Owners can also share their energy in communities and microgrids to locally consume, optimize, and share their energy. On top of that, devices can be aggregated together into a virtual power plant (VPP) where the owners can earn money by offering the flexibility of their devices on energy markets.
