In the new era of electrified motoring, the management of electric
energy is a critical element for both the stability of the networks
electricity supply, as well as for the provision of affordable and environmentally friendly
travel. The Group Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, alongside the offer of new advanced
electrified models, such as the new all-electric Fiat 500 and the Plug–in Hybrid Jeep 4xe, develops a range of services and initiatives
with the aim of a smoother and more efficient transition to this new page
of the automobile.
In this context, in the largest network V2G (Vehicle–to–Grid) in the world created in collaboration with
την ENGIE EPS at
Group facilities FCA at Mirafiori (Turin), commissioned by the Italian regulator
energy authority, capacity management 25 MW for the period 2023-2027. The system V2G of FCA and ENGIE EPS at Mirafiori will manage this action through
700 batteries, the majority of which will be found in new electric vehicles Fiat 500 during
parked at the site of the installation, but also from
used batteries, which in this way will acquire a second
"life" as part of the network V2G.
This is the first large-scale industrial network application V2G, which uses used batteries.
In this way, full use is made of the available resources with significant
economic and especially environmental benefits. At the same time the system V2G will improve the stability of the network
electrification, giving the possibility for even better exploitation of the
renewable energy sources, such as solar energy, saving significant
amounts of energy during the day for use at night.
"This is an excellent result," commented
κ. Roberto Tue Stefano, Head of Department e–Mobility of FCA on
the EMEA region, "which ideally combines the areas of transport and
of energy. Two leading companies in their field join forces
and his knowledge of his ballast e–Mobility and
the fastest possible transition to a sustainable electricity system."
