Valeo Unveils Ineez V2G Bidirectional Charging Station at Drive to Zero Expo
On Tuesday in Paris, Valeo unveiled a new Ineez charging station incorporating Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology and the ISO 15118-20 communication protocol. This innovation transforms the charging point into an active management platform capable of optimizing bidirectional energy flows between the vehicle and the network.
A Bidirectional AC Station with Secure Communication Protocol
The new Ineez station presented at the Drive to Zero expo combines Vehicle-to-Grid bidirectional charging with the ISO 15118-20 protocol, establishing a universal and secure interface between the vehicle and the station. Valeo's embedded software allows for flexible integration of country-specific network codes. This solution meets the needs for electrical grid flexibility by enabling real-time interaction between the vehicle and the grid. The sharing of energy data optimizes costs and secures bidirectional flows, transforming the traditional charging point into a key player in the energy transition.
A Technological Platform Acquired to Enhance Expertise
The technological architecture of the V2G stations is based on the software and hardware platform developed by IoTecha, now owned by Valeo. The charging solutions combine cutting-edge communication protocols and the IoT.ON cloud platform, ensuring interoperability between the vehicle, the station, and the electrical grid. Isabelle D'Ambrosio, Vice President of Valeo Service OES & Smart Mobility, states that the group 'combines industrial excellence and software protocols to make advanced energy flexibility both accessible and sustainable', extending its expertise beyond traditional automotive technologies.
