Electric vehicles (EVs) are pivotal in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and decreasing dependence on fossil fuels. Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology, which enables bidirectional energy flow between EVs and the electrical grid, further enhances the utility of EVs. This paper examines the opportunities and challenges associated with V2G integration. It reviews advancements in EV battery technology, the expansion of charging infrastructure, and the mechanics of V2G systems. The potential benefits, including grid stability, renewable energy integration, and economic incentives for EV owners, are discussed alongside real-world case studies. Additionally, the paper addresses technical, economic, and regulatory challenges that impede widespread V2G adoption. By analyzing these factors, the paper provides insights into future directions for technology, policy, and market development to optimize V2G systems.
