Abstract : The rapid growth of the electric vehicle (EV) market is driving large-scale EV charging infrastructure development, offering new opportunities for grid stabilization through vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology. V2G has gained significant attention in recent years as a key research area. This study uses the PRISMA framework to present a bibliometric analysis of V2G research trends. A structured SCOPUS search with the keywords “vehicle-to-grid” and “electric vehicle” was conducted on June 28, 2024. After screening, 2,624 relevant documents published between 2010 and 2024 were selected for analysis using VOS viewer for visualization and Microsoft Excel for data handling. Findings reveal that China and India lead in V2G research publications, showing a steady rise since 2010, whereas the U.S. has fewer articles but a higher citation impact, indicating significant global influence. IEEE Transactions on Smart Grid holds the highest citations, while MDPI’s Energies has published the most articles in this domain. Keyword cooccurrence analysis links V2G with demand response, microgrids, grid-to-vehicle (G2V) interactions, and smart grids. This study provides a comprehensive overview of V2G research, identifying key trends, knowledge gaps, and future research directions.
