Analysis of V2X Scenarios for Future-Proof Battery Management Systems: Use Cases for Passenger EVs and Electric Light Commercial Vehicles

The growing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) and the increasing need for coordinated charging and energy management have highlighted the importance of vehicle-to-everything (V2X) technologies within battery management systems (BMSs). However, existing studies often treat EVs as idealized storage systems, overlooking battery and BMS-related operational constraints, and typically analyze driving, charging, and bidirectional energy exchange in isolation, limiting realistic, end-to-end evaluation of daily operation scenarios. This paper addresses these gaps by analyzing how advanced, BMS-integrated V2X capabilities can be deployed in real-world EV operation, focusing on battery utilization, operational performance, and system-level energy interactions. A unified, scenario-based methodology combines mobility demand, AC/DC charging behavior, and bidirectional V2X services within a single daily operational framework. Representative use cases for both passenger EVs and electric light commercial vehicles (eLCVs) are developed to capture realistic driving patterns, environmental conditions, and energy exchange scenarios. The results indicate that V2X operation can provide substantial gross economic value in the investigated scenarios. For the eLCV cases, the estimated increase in equivalent full cycle (EFC) throughput rate ranges from approximately 14.3% to 30.3%, while combined summer–winter cumulative avoided electricity purchase cost reaches approximately EUR 4033 for the higher-power charging strategy, equivalent to 57.0% of the adopted battery cost reference. The analysis also highlights the strong influence of ambient temperature and usage patterns on energy consumption, charging strategies, and overall system performance. Overall, this work provides a holistic and practical evaluation framework for V2X-enabled BMS operation, demonstrating its potential to improve grid support, enhance energy efficiency, and support sustainable EV integration while balancing economic and battery-lifetime trade-offs.
