A Potential $78.8 Billion Opportunity is Opening Up in the V2G Market April 29, 2025 - Baystreet.ca There’s substantial growth ahead for the Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) market. For one, according to Precedence Research, the V2G market is currently worth about $6.9 billon. By 2034, it’s expected be worth nearly $78.8 billion. Two, the market is expected to see substantial growth thanks to the adoption of electric vehicles, growing demand for energy, and government policies. All of which is great news for V2G related stocks, such as Nuvve Holding Corp. (NASDAQ: NVVE), Nissan Motor (OTC: NSANY), Schneider Electric (OTC: SBGSY), Xcel Energy (NASDAQ: XEL) and Toyota Motor (NYSE: TM). “Through a combination of legislative measures, tax incentives, infrastructure mandates, and traffic-related benefits, policymakers are encouraging the seamless integration of V2G systems into national energy strategies. One of the most significant advantages of V2G technology lies in its potential to reduce energy costs for both consumers and grid operators. By optimizing energy flow and enabling bidirectional energy exchange, the V2G solution represents a critical step toward a smarter, more sustainable, and economically efficient energy,” added Precedence Research. Look at Nuvve Holding Corp. (NASDAQ: NVVE), For Example Nuvve Holding Corp., a global leader in vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology and grid modernization, today announced the acquisition of substantially all of the net assets of Fermata Energy LLC (“Fermata”), a leading V2G platform provider in the U.S. The acquisition was completed through Nuvve’s newly formed subsidiary, Fermata II LLC (“Fermata 2.0”), focused on scaling intelligent, bidirectional energy solutions. Fermata 2.0 acquired substantially all of the assets of Fermata and assumed certain specified liabilities. As part of the transaction, Fermata 2.0 issued 4,900,000 shares of convertible preferred stock to former Fermata debt holders. The total purchase price is approximately $659,000, consisting of $340,000 in cash and the remainder in assumed liabilities. Nuvve intends to raise additional capital to support future operational funding needs by offering up to 25% equity in Fermata 2.0. Fermata 2.0 will be jointly led by Gregory Poilasne as CEO and Hamza Lemsaddek as Chief Operating Officer, combining strategic oversight with operational execution to scale the platform and deepen customer impact. "By acquiring Fermata, we’re creating the leading platform to fully realize V2G’s potential," said Poilasne. "Together, we accelerate the energy transition by making EVs integral to energy security and grid resiliency." Several key members of the Fermata team will join Fermata 2.0, bringing deep expertise in V2G integration, software development, OEM and utility engagement, regulatory strategy, business operations, and business development. This continuity will accelerate product roadmap execution and ensure trusted relationships are maintained. "This partnership ensures continuity for our technology and our mission," said David Slutzky, Founder and Chairman of Fermata Energy. "Nuvve brings the scale, complementary capabilities, and vision to amplify Fermata’s impact. I’m proud of what we’ve built and excited about what’s ahead." The companies will continue to support and expand existing customer and partner relationships on both sides, ensuring that long-standing collaborations with utilities, OEMs, and fleet operators are preserved and enhanced through this integration. "This merger is about unifying capabilities and accelerating the deployment of intelligent, bidirectional energy solutions," said Lemsaddek. “We’re building an end-to-end platform that empowers fleets, utilities, and OEMs to participate in the energy transition more effectively and more profitably.” Immediate operational efficiencies include consolidating software platform teams and AWS infrastructure within Fermata 2.0, significantly reducing annual expenses by approximately $2 million. Sales synergies are emerging as Nuvve expands its hardware offerings into markets previously served by Fermata. Joint engineering and R&D initiatives will pursue innovation and collaborative grant-funded projects, further supported by the combined Nuvve and Fermata IP and engineering resources. Fermata 2.0 will deliver a new generation of white-label software solutions, combining Fermata’s proven optimization and forecasting capabilities with Nuvve’s advanced AI-driven grid intelligence. By integrating intelligent energy management directly into electric vehicles or offering it as a standalone service for fleet operators and utilities, Fermata 2.0 will unlock new value streams across the mobility and energy sectors. Customers will benefit from enhanced predictive charging insights, dynamic peak load minimization, and expanded grid service opportunities, powered in part by Nuvve’s Astrea AI™ platform. Together, these capabilities create a more scalable, flexible, and commercially powerful solution than either company could deliver independently. The merger strengthens Nuvve’s comprehensive intellectual property portfolio, diversifies market risk, and enhances its range of U.S.-built certified hardware through Fermata’s established domestic manufacturer relationships, adding resilience amidst evolving tariff policies. Customers of both companies gain immediate value through access to an expanded suite of integrated hardware and software solutions, combining Nuvve’s grid aggregation and virtual power plant (VPP) expertise with Fermata’s specialized capabilities in distributed energy resource (DER) optimization and behind-the-meter solutions. This acquisition also positions Nuvve to capitalize on accelerating regulatory tailwinds such as the Inflation Reduction Act and state-level grid modernization incentives, further expanding the total addressable market for V2G applications. With more than ten years of commercial V2G deployment experience, the combined platform now offers unmatched breadth across grid services, behind-the-meter optimization, OEM integration, AI-driven software, and certified charging hardware—delivering a truly end-to-end V2G ecosystem. Looking ahead, Fermata 2.0 is positioned to play a critical role in Nuvve’s growth strategy as the company expands its presence in behind-the-meter markets and strengthens its VPP services across regulated and deregulated markets alike, with potential to drive incremental revenue from new white-label licensing opportunities, expanded DER optimization contracts, and fleet electrification partnerships. It also provides a focused investment vehicle within Nuvve for scaling software-first energy services. Other related developments from around the markets include: Nissan Motor reported March 2025 U.S. sales of 231,335 vehicles, up 7.7 percent on a volume basis and up 11.8 percent on a daily selling rate (DSR) basis versus March 2024. Sales of electrified vehicles for the month totaled 112,608, up 44.1 percent on a volume basis and up 49.6 percent on a DSR basis representing 48.7 percent of total sales volume.
