Appendix B - Questionnaire
• What are your views on VGI (V1G and V2G), and how important is it for
India? • Will it be applicable to all EV segments: e-2Ws, e-3Ws, e-4Ws, and e-buses? • What are the challenges for VGI in India? • What are some of the possible solutions/strategies that should be adopted for VGI? • What are the knowledge/technological gaps that need to be addressed to integrate EVs with the grid? • Are the existing policies and regulatory and institutional frameworks sufficient for VGI implementation in India? If not, what policies and regulatory and institutional reforms are required? • Are the available battery technologies in India suitable for VGI? Which battery technology is most appropriate? • What will be the impact of VGI on EV battery degradation in the Indian environment? • What will be the value proposition of VGI for DISCOMs? • What role will smart charging play in congestion management of distribution networks? • What role will VGI play in demand response, frequency regulation, voltage regulation, black-start support, and reliability improvement? • To what extent is a VPP using EV batteries economically viable in India?

What are the available market opportunities? • To what extent can VPPs contribute to the current Indian ancillary service/ balancing market? • What are the gaps in the current regulatory framework for V1G and V2G in
India? • Will participating in the VGI scheme be profitable for fleet operators? • Do you think fleet operators will be willing to participate in VGI? • What types of incentives would encourage fleet operators to participate in
VGI? • What are the technical barriers that may hinder large-scale VGI in India? • How can the losses during the charging-discharging cycle be reduced through V1G/V2G? • How can the problem of harmonics caused during the chargingdischarging process be mitigated with VGI? • Are the current chargers available on the Indian market equipped for VGI (V1G/V2G)? • Is there a necessity to use slow starters in V2G chargers? • Are the EVs on the Indian market V2G-ready?
