Whitepaper: RWTH Aachen Study on Battery Lifetime Optimization

How smart and bidirectional charging impact EV battery health

Our joint study by The Mobility House Energy and RWTH Aachen University reveals: Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) only slightly accelerates battery ageing – while offering significant economic benefits.

Why it matters

Battery lifetime is key to the profitability and acceptance of electric mobility.
Our study dispels a common myth:
Smart charging (V1G) protects the battery – and unlocks value potentials of up to €600 per year.

What you’ll learn in the whitepaper

  • Comparison of V1G, V2G, and immediate charging (IC)
  • Tested battery types: cylindrical, prismatic, pouch
  • Environmental and economic benefits of smart energy management
  • Vehicle-to-Grid as a cornerstone of a stable, renewable energy system

Our vision

With Vehicle-to-Grid, electric vehicles become part of the energy system: They can draw and feed back energy — to the home or the grid.
EVs thus become flexible storage units that stabilize renewable power supply.
