The purpose of this RFI is to gather information from organisations that may be interested in participating in potential vehicle-to-everything (V2X) trial(s), with a focus on urban areas of New Zealand.

Vehicle-to-everything (V2X) refers to technologies that enable bi-directional electricity flow. V2X chargers allow electric vehicles (EVs) to both draw electricity from and return electricity to external systems. Using bi-directional charging, an EV can store electricity when parked and plugged in, and provide that stored energy to a home, business or wider electricity network during times of high demand. More broadly, V2X technology allows EVs to act as flexible storage that can help support electricity system efficiency and resilience.

This RFI seeks responses from organisations that may be able to contribute to a V2X trial in a range of ways, including energy sector participants, organisations with access to potential participants or vehicles, installation and service providers, and other organisations with relevant capability.

The information provided through this RFI process will be used to inform the design, scope, and potential delivery models for any future V2X trial activity.
