| D1P008: Description of project objectives/concepts | |
| D1P008: Description of project objectives/concepts | V2G-QUESTS contributes to the creation of inclusive positive energy districts (PEDs) by empowering/emancipating/strengthening the power-balancing capacity of private and shared electric vehicles (EVs) in thus far EV-poor areas. These vehicles can be used as one big battery to tackle intermittent energy production and consumption in urban areas through the concept of Vehicle-to-grid (V2G), which is being assessed in several pilots. However, for V2G to positively affect the power network, it will have to be adopted at different geographies and socio-economical strata. Energy production and consumption are everywhere, not just in locations where higher-income people who can afford EVs live. In V2G-QUESTS we will therefore work in a multidisciplinary team to bring electric mobility and the concept of V2G into disadvantaged and typically excluded communities, therefore contributing to both mobility and energy transitions in PEDs. The project intends to produce specific guidelines for creating mobility-enabled PEDs that are demonstrated through three specific, yet diverse, European case studies that align citizens’ behavior, business models, technology, power optimization, regulation and governance, and impacts in a co-creation context in typically excluded districts. Each country that is part of V2G-QUESTS brings specific expertise required to maximize the impact of V2G at local and regional scales. |

| D1P009: Description of project upscaling strategies/potential | The project is not doing such effort now. At this point we are working with our three diverse districts in Portugal, The Netherlands and Estonia. What we are producing as one of the most important deliverables is a policy brief that is intended for any district in Europe in terms of a methodology that increases the success of EV and V2G solutions in vulnerable/excluded populations. |

| D1P013: Standardization efforts | |
| D1P013: Standardization efforts | To measure the outcomes the following indicators are used per outcome. Improved collaboration and capacity for decision-making among citizens and policy-makers to pursue effective governance in the V2G innovation space. -> I1) Policies and subsidies on electric mobility transitions, NGOs, and civil society, cite V2G-QUESTS knowledge products on new plans for V2G implementations; I2) Protocols for safe and secure V2G-systems are developed by energy and mobility businesses. Improved collaboration and capacity for decision-making among societal stakeholders to create new business opportunities in the V2G innovation space. -> I3) V2G roadmap communicated via online channels; I4) Special issue on socio-technical challenges of mainstreaming carbon-neutral technologies in sustainable mobility transitions. Regional governments develop equitable energy transition plans that include V2G. -> I5) City and regional authorities use V2G-QUESTS publications and policy briefs for upscaling. Societal stakeholders start widespread testing with the public V2G-enabled energy solutions. -> I6) Regional governments interact with grid operators to deploy energy trading with shared mobility providers, fleet operators, and individuals; I7) Car users in excluded districts are informed about opportunities for V2G incentives, tariffs, and subscription models in energy grids via communication channels and networks. Societal partners decide on participating in zero-emission mobility solutions that integrate V2G. -> I8) Regional governments, businesses, and car users decide about opportunities and barriers in EV and V2G adoption via the knowledge produced in V2G-QUESTS, and via publications of our collaboration partners. V2G innovators and operators increase V2G business operations and efficiency in product delivery. -> I9) V2G technology is publicly available; I10) Power aggregators start tariff schemes for energy trading; I11) Individual owners and shared mobility providers use V2G in currently excluded districts. |
