Valeo and Nissan sign major contract for EV charging with Vehicle-to-Grid

Valeo and Nissan announced an agreement to launch a comprehensive EV charging offer for the European market, starting in the United Kingdom. 

This initiative introduces two complementary solutions: a Smart Unidirectional (V1G) AC charging station, compliant with the UK EVSCP standard, and an Advanced Bidirectional (V2G) AC charging station, which powers the Vehicle-to-Everything energy services Nissan will offer to its customers.

Through this contract, Valeo provides the electrification technologies for Nissan’s integrated energy ecosystem, expanding both companies’ footprint in the electric vehicle market. 

The commercial rollout in Nissan’s network will begin in the United Kingdom followed by other European countries.

Isabelle D’Ambrosio, Vice President Smart Mobility at Valeo, stated: “This major contract with Nissan represents a decisive step in Valeo’s ambition to shape the future of electric mobility. By combining Valeo’s technological leadership in bidirectional charging with Nissan’s vision for an integrated energy ecosystem, we are redefining the electric vehicle as a critical asset for the grid. Together, we are accelerating the energy transition across Europe, with innovative solutions that benefit both drivers and grid stability.”

Soufiane El Khomri, Nissan Energy Services Director declared: “This agreement with Valeo marks a concrete step in how Nissan is redefining its vehicles as energy assets, not just mobility products. By integrating Valeo’s bidirectional charging technology into our V2X service offer, we are giving our customers in Europe the tools to actively manage their energy, reduce costs, and contribute to grid resilience — while driving the transition to a smarter, more sustainable energy model.”
