Unlocking vehicle-to-grid potential of load shifting in China's megacities considering comprehensive real-world behaviors.
Article in Nature communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Global decarbonization necessitates large-scale electrification, bringing load stability challenges to urban grids. While Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology using private plug-in electric vehicles (P-PEVs) can balance the loads, its potential at megacity-level remains unclear due to the complexity of fine-grained, user-centric modelling. Here, we propose a Mobility and V2G Coupled (MOVC) framework, which depicts individual P-PEV travel-charge behaviors and evaluates user V2G concerns regarding willingness, compensation, and battery degradation. The framework analyzes 480,000 P-PEVs in Shenzhen, China, revealing a 2300 MW peak-shaving capacity, reducing peak-valley ratios by 73%. V2G strategies that prioritize user satisfaction hardly sacrifice the load shifting performance, but reduce battery degradation costs and compensation costs by 30-40% and 5-13% respectively. A forward-looking scenario considering fully-deployed quick charging (QC) in four China's megacities reveals 0%-12% lower peak-valley ratios with more inequal V2G scheduling (4%-95% higher standard deviation). This study enlightens megacity-level V2G potential evaluations and their policy-making considering real-world behaviors.
