Electric Vehicles in the Future Electricity System is a research and innovation grant call run by the Swedish Energy Agency (Energimyndigheten) under its Future Electricity System programme (Swedish: Framtidens elsystem), the agency's main investment in research on electricity production, electricity use, and the electricity grid. The call funds projects that develop the role of electric vehicles in the electricity system, with a focus on smart and two-way charging (vehicle-to-grid) seen from a whole-system point of view.
The instrument is a grant (Swedish: bidrag). Each project can receive at most SEK 5,000,000, and the call has a total of about SEK 40,000,000 available across all funded project parties. No minimum grant is published. The parent programme runs from 2022 through 2027 with an initial budget of SEK 552 million; this call is one round within it.
The call is open to any actor that can contribute to its goals. The page lists examples: companies, the public sector, the social-science, humanities, technical, and natural-science faculties of universities and university colleges, research institutes, and other actors. For-profit companies can apply directly, alongside public bodies, universities, and institutes.
Applications were submitted through the Swedish Energy Agency's online application service. The last day to apply for this round was 21 March 2024 at 23:59. Decisions on which projects would receive support were set for October 2024, and funded projects could start no earlier than 1 November 2024. The source page does not publish a scoring rubric, a numerical threshold, or a step-by-step application sequence.
Practical caveats: this specific round has closed and no successor round for this topic is published yet, so treat it as a recurring programme between calls rather than open. The full call text was provided only as a downloadable document, and the page gives no direct apply, guidelines, or call-text URL that can be linked.
The role of electric vehicles in the future electricity system, with a focus on smart and bidirectional (vehicle-to-grid) charging. Topics include charging technologies, ownership and mobility models, the role of markets and actors, technical standards and how they shape system design and link to other controllable building components, interoperability, data access and cybersecurity, social and fairness aspects, business models and regulation, electricity-system planning and robustness, and rural versus urban perspectives.
