Toyota Motor North America (Toyota) and Oncor Electric Delivery (Oncor) have agreed to collaborate on a pilot project around vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology and services

The effort will be led by Toyota's Electric Vehicle Charging Solutions (EVCS) team

Initially, the two companies have agreed to a research project that will use Oncor's research and testing microgrid at its System Operating Services Facility (SOSF) in south Dallas, located just south of Toyota's nearby national headquarters. The SOSF microgrid is composed of four interconnected microgrids that can be controlled independently, but also operated in parallel, tandem or combined into a single, larger system. The microgrid and its subsystems also include a "V2G" charger, solar panels and battery storage for testing and evaluation. Toyota and Oncor plan to use a BEV along with the system to better understand the interconnectivity between BEVs and utilities.

Beyond this initial phase, a second phase of the project slated for 2023 will include a V2G pilot where testing will be conducted with BEVs connected at homes or businesses within Oncor's service territory, pursuant to all standard interconnection processes and agreements.
