By 2040, EVs in China could have enough capacity to supply all of the country’s peak demand needs if they were V2G-capable

I'd call it more than an experiment. I'm not aware of any such thing in USA but there's a few in China. There is one community in Florida though that is trying off grid. Not sure where they are these days.

And this article is from 2023.08.22. Self-consumption V2G system launched for Chinese national park

I'll have to see if I can find more. It's been awhile since I looked into V2G.

I looked at your links and I'm not sure which point you're trying make.

My comment was specifically about 3 things combined together: China, Virtual Power Plant, and V2G

None of your links point to all 3 happening together like the OPs article (which is why this is new and interesting).

Your links:

You didn't ask me to make a point.

You are refuting my point that the 50 cars is an experiment at this point. I'm asking you to back up your claim with information that says that China is much farther along beyond a single experiment of 50 cars of Virtual Power Plant and V2G.

That is the point I asked you to make because you said my point was incorrect or at least inaccurate.
