Every parked EV is a battery the grid will pay for.
We're building Israel's first vehicle-to-grid operator, bringing a model that already works in the US, China and Europe to Israel. Idle electric cars become grid power that pays their drivers and steadies the network.
V2G is here, available at scale, and ready to revolutionise our entire energy system.Greg Jackson, Founder & CEO, Octopus Energy · the UK's largest energy supplier
The future grid won't need more power plants. It will need flexibility.
Solar floods the grid by day. Air conditioning drains it by night. The value is in moving power across the hours, and grid operators now pay for it.
The cheapest store of that power is already here: the battery in every parked EV. Let it flow both ways and the national fleet becomes the country's largest power asset.
Israel's EVs already hold roughly 15 GWh of battery. Almost none of it is doing anything.
It already works abroad
V2G Hub tracks 151 projects across 27 countries. The leaders have moved past pilots into paid, commercial service.
Octopus Energy's Power Pack (relaunched March 2026) bundles the car, a bidirectional charger and free home-charging miles, and pays drivers 12p per kWh for evening export.
Drivers already earn: Tesla Powershare credits in Texas, grid buyback payments in Beijing and Shanghai, and commercial services in France and the Netherlands.
Fast EV growth, a wide day-to-night price gap, a grid that buckles each summer, and no V2G operator yet.
The economics already work in Israel.
Net annual revenue for a participating commuter under Israel's existing TAOZ tariff alone — no subsidies, no new markets.
To repay the bidirectional-charger premium, well inside the battery's life. A second-family-car profile repays in under 3.
Over 4% of Israel's EVs already carry V2G-ready hardware. Activation is a manufacturer software switch away — not a hardware problem.
What would your EV earn?
Move the sliders. The estimate comes from the same Oxford model behind the numbers above.
First-order estimate for a home-charging driver on Israel's TAOZ time-of-use tariff, anchored to the calibrated model baseline (net of off-peak recharging, before any aggregator share). Actual results vary with driving pattern and tariff changes.

Founder
I built V2G Israel's economic model during my research at the University of Oxford, grounded in real tariffs, driving data and battery physics. The conclusion was simple: V2G pays in Israel, and no one is doing it yet. I've founded organizations before, and served as VP at Life & Environment, Israel's umbrella body for environmental NGOs.

Investor, fleet, utility, charge-point operator or partner. If the energy transition runs through flexibility, let's build it.
