IN Brief:
- Jumptech’s software platform will support The Mobility House’s V2G technology installations.
- The platform will manage surveys, installer tasks, evidence capture, job status tracking, and workflow steps linked to local requirements.
- The move reflects the additional operational and compliance demands created by bidirectional charging and grid-connected EV flexibility.
Jumptech will support The Mobility House with software for vehicle-to-grid installation delivery, adding V2G support to an existing installation management partnership.
The Mobility House will use Jumptech’s platform to manage installation workflows for V2G-ready infrastructure. The software will support customer surveys, installer task management, job status tracking, evidence capture, and workflow steps that can be adapted around local installation and grid connection requirements.
Jumptech will provide the operational layer around the installation process, including its installer app and AI-powered survey validation. The Mobility House develops smart charging and energy management technology that enables EVs to be intelligently charged, aggregated, and used as distributed energy resources through bidirectional charging.
The two companies already work together on installation management in Germany, and the extension into V2G reflects the higher level of complexity involved in bidirectional systems compared with conventional one-way EV charging. Installation quality, local grid assessment, documentation, and commissioning evidence all become more demanding when a charger can export as well as import electricity.
A standard EV charger installation already has to address site surveys, electrical capacity, protection arrangements, earthing, metering, customer documentation, installer availability, evidence capture, and distribution network notification or application requirements. V2G adds further complexity because the charger and vehicle are no longer simply drawing power from the network. The installation may enable export, aggregation, and grid services, changing both compliance requirements and operational controls.
Bidirectional charging depends on a chain of compatible hardware, software, market arrangements, and network rules. The vehicle must support energy export, the charger must be capable of bidirectional operation, the control platform must manage charging and discharging, and the local grid connection must be assessed against relevant requirements. A gap in any part of that chain can delay installation or limit asset value.
Workflow management therefore becomes part of the technical delivery model. Installer tasks, survey data, technical evidence, grid-connection information, and compliance records need to be captured consistently if V2G installations are to scale beyond early adopters and trial projects. Survey validation is particularly important because errors in site assessment can lead to repeat visits, delayed energisation, or unresolved network issues.
The Mobility House has been active in V2G development across several markets, using EV batteries as flexible storage assets when vehicles are parked. Jumptech’s role is narrower and operationally focused, supporting the route from customer survey to installation completion, evidence capture, and handover.
EV infrastructure delivery is already becoming more demanding across public and private charging. EZO’s £176m Midlands rapid charging contract illustrates the scale of deployment now moving through procurement, installation, grid capacity planning, and maintenance. V2G adds another layer because chargers can become controllable grid assets rather than fixed electrical loads.
A bidirectional charger installed at a home, depot, workplace, or fleet site may participate in demand response, peak shaving, grid constraint management, energy trading, or local flexibility services. That turns the installation into part of a wider power system, with requirements extending beyond the final circuit and the physical charger.
For installers, documentation and evidence capture become central. Protection settings, circuit details, grid notification, photographs, commissioning records, customer permissions, and software onboarding all have to be aligned. If the asset is later aggregated into a flexibility platform, the operator also needs confidence that the installation was completed to the required standard.
The V2G market remains early, with vehicle compatibility, bidirectional charger availability, tariff structures, regulatory rules, and customer propositions varying by country. Fleet depots and commercial sites may move first where vehicles have predictable dwell times and centralised control. Domestic V2G is likely to depend more heavily on customer behaviour, vehicle availability, export value, and installation cost.
Managed installation platforms can reduce avoidable delays around surveys, installer coordination, evidence, and local workflow variation. They cannot solve vehicle supply, grid capacity, or market design, but they can make bidirectional charging easier to deliver once the commercial and technical conditions are in place.
The move shows V2G becoming a delivery-stack problem as well as a hardware problem. Chargers, vehicles, control software, installer workflow, grid compliance, customer support, and operational data all have to align before bidirectional charging can move from technical capability into reliable installed infrastructure.
