As awareness regarding the negative consequences of consuming fossil fuels globally increases, the motivation to use clean and sustainable energy sources also rises. With the goal of utilizing clean and green energy, the implementation of electric vehicles (EVs) as the primary transportation platform and energy management becomes increasingly vital. Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology offers promise in optimizing power demand, shaping load variation, and enhancing the sustainability of smart grids. Through V2G applications with electric vehicles, grid flexibility can be achieved as a distributed storage system. However, the simultaneous connection and disconnection of electric vehicles from the grid, in particular, can cause significant fluctuations in energy parameters. With the increasing complexity of the smart grid due to V2G applications with bidirectional energy flow from electric vehicles, energy management and optimization, power system stability, and sustainability have become paramount. This study analyzes the development of electric vehicles in our country and globally, and their integration with smart grids, providing an overview of V2G technology. It further analyzes the challenges of V2G integration into the electricity grid and the advantages it offers to the smart grid. In addition, based on previous studies and real-world examples, an analysis is conducted on the positive and negative impacts on grid parameters when electric vehicles of varying power and numbers are connected to the grid as prosumers for energy storage and energy supply to the grid.
