Cover Story: As electric vehicles (EV) become integral components of future energy systems, understanding the battery implications of vehicle-to-grid (V2G) operation is critical. This study presents an experimental investigation of V2G ageing using real-world cycle profiles from commercial EV chargers, assessing the cell ageing rate under different temperature and depth-of-discharge V2G cycles. The V2G capacity fade is then compared to long-term calendar ageing at different states-of-charge and temperature conditions, with the results demonstrating that shallow V2G cycling induces minimal additional degradation to pure storage. By introducing a novel V2X capability metric and testing methodology, this work provides a framework for optimizing V2G utilisation strategies that preserve battery cycle life while enabling scalable EV-grid integration.
