Renault and EDF partner for integrated electric vehicle, charging station and V2G recharging offer

A joint offering combining vehicle, home charging station and managed recharging

Renault Group and EDF group position themselves as partners within this collaboration framework. Its objective is to propose a comprehensive offering bringing together three elements: the electric vehicle, the charging station installed at home and "intelligent charging management".

The announcement targets the French market, with both groups indicating their intention to make the electric vehicle "more accessible and more economical for French consumers".

V2G technology aims to reduce vehicle charging costs for the group's brands

The two partners indicate they will rely particularly on bidirectional charging, specifically V2G (Vehicle To Grid, from vehicle to network). According to the statement, this technology should enable electric vehicles from Renault Group brands to become active participants in the energy system.

Both groups attribute a dual benefit to it: providing flexibility to the electricity grid and reducing vehicle charging costs. They quantify this savings at a value representing up to 10,000 kilometers per year.

A collaboration built on the simplicity of charging usage

The two groups justify their partnership through a shared conviction: according to them, the growth of electric mobility will be achieved through charging solutions that are simple, accessible and concretely beneficial for French households' budgets.
