Are electric vehicle drivers willing to participate in vehicle-to-grid contracts? A context-dependent stated choice experiment

Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology could turn electric vehicles (EVs) into a potentially valuable solution to the problem of increased load demand caused by large-scale EV integration. Successful market penetration V2G relies not only on developing itself, but also drivers' willingness participate in this technology. This paper aims explore Dutch preferences for participating contracts. In particular, we conduct context-dependent stated choice experiment examine impact recharging contract preferences. Two contexts have been designed: current time and fast recharging. Our results show that context time, drivers general prefer contracts, while opposite is true With regard specific attributes, are most concerned about ‘discharging cycles’. Also important them ‘the guaranteed minimum battery level’, its importance drops significantly charging context. addition, ‘monthly remuneration’ ‘plug-in time’ influence people's adopting V2G. From these findings, draw implications aggregator policy makers.
