Driving the Future: Kia and Hyundai Lead Vehicle-to-Grid Trials in Australia
At Tynan Motors, we’re proud to represent brands that are leading the way in innovation. One of the most exciting advancements in the electric vehicle (EV) space right now is vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology – and Kia and Hyundai, among other brands, are at the forefront of making it a reality in Australia.
What is Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G)?
V2G technology allows certain EVs to do more than just charge – they can actually send electricity back to the energy grid. Instead of energy only flowing from the grid into your car, your EV can return power to the grid (or even to your home) when it’s needed most.
This innovation means:
- Lower household energy bills – use your EV to power your home during peak times, then recharge off-peak.
- Extra rewards and credits – electricity providers are trialling incentives for EV owners who join.
- A more sustainable energy system – EVs help balance renewable energy supply across the grid.
Kia & Hyundai at the Forefront
Both Hyundai and Kia have vehicles included in the latest Australian V2G trials, showing their commitment to smarter, greener mobility.
- Hyundai: The Ioniq 5, Ioniq 6, and the upcoming Ioniq 9 are part of the program, setting benchmarks in both design and technology.
- Kia: The EV6, EV9, and the brand-new EV3 are included, highlighting Kia’s rapid move into advanced electrification.
These trials are an important step in proving that V2G works seamlessly in real households, ensuring batteries remain protected and vehicles are always ready when you need them.
Why This Matters for Tynan Customers
As your local dealer for Hyundai and Kia, Tynan Motors is excited to see these brands shaping the future of driving and energy. Vehicle-to-grid technology means your car could one day become part of your energy solution – helping you save money and contribute to a more sustainable grid.
It’s another reason why choosing a Kia or Hyundai EV from Tynan Motors is about more than just driving – it’s about being part of the next chapter in energy innovation.
