V2G-Capable EV Models and Fleet Battery Capacity Sweden (2026)

Three clippings used to check a claim circulating on LinkedIn (“111 EV models support V2G in Sweden,” paired with a “~25 GWh” fleet-capacity figure): a Power Circle press release on Sweden’s chargeable-vehicle fleet (press.powercircle.org, 14 April 2026); a Tibber magazine article on V2G in Sweden (tibber.com/se, 22 June 2026); and cross-checked against the wiki’s existing Source - Power Circle V2X Synthesis 2024 (OEM V2G-readiness list, 2024).

The claim checked

A LinkedIn post circulating in 2026 stated that “111 EV models support V2G in Sweden,” alongside a companion figure of roughly 25 GWh of EV battery capacity. Neither figure could be located or corroborated in any of the sources checked below, and the specific post could not be found via web search (no URL or author was recoverable) — it should be treated as unverified pending a primary source turning up.

What the real figures actually show

Fleet-wide battery capacity is real, but it isn’t “V2G capacity.” Power Circle’s 14 April 2026 press release, “Fler laddbara bilar än någonsin – men tempot behöver öka,” states Sweden’s combined chargeable-vehicle fleet (battery-electric + plug-in hybrid) now exceeds 23,000 MWh (23 GWh) of combined battery capacity, out of 16% of the total passenger-car fleet being chargeable, with new registrations continuing to grow (66% of March 2026’s new registrations were chargeable; ~19,000 new chargeable vehicles that month, the highest since July 2022). (Re-checked 2026-09-23: the original press-release URL now 404s — press.powercircle.org has since republished/restructured — but the 66% new-registration figure was independently corroborated via a Google-indexed snippet of the same headline.) This is the whole chargeable fleet’s installed battery capacity — it says nothing about how much of that capacity sits behind a bidirectional charger, since the release doesn’t break the figure down by charging-hardware type at all. This is a different, lower, and more current figure than the ~25 GWh cited on LinkedIn — the historical series from Power Circle’s own press releases shows 2.3 GWh (Jan 2020), 10.7 GWh (Aug 2023), and >23 GWh (Apr 2026), so 25 GWh doesn’t match any single dated snapshot found.

The actual number of V2G-capable models on the Swedish market is small, not precisely countable from public sources, and nowhere near 111. Tibber’s June 2026 article on V2G in Sweden states plainly that “it is a small number of models that can handle it” today, and that supply is limited because there is not yet a common industry standard for bidirectional DC charging. The models it names in active Swedish use are the Volkswagen/Škoda/CUPRA MEB-platform vehicles used in the Vattenfall/Energy Bank Hudiksvall pilot (see Source - Vattenfall Energy Bank VW V2G Pilot 2025-2026) and the Kia EV9 in a separate pilot. This is consistent with, and narrower than, the wiki’s existing OEM-readiness list in Source - Power Circle V2X Synthesis 2024 (Volvo, Polestar, Volkswagen, Ford, Hyundai as V2G-capable-or-preparing OEMs, not a model-level count). No source checked here gives one authoritative total count of V2G-capable models sold in Sweden — the honest statement is “a small number, well under a dozen model lines,” not a precise figure, and certainly not 111.
