Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology has emerged as a promising solution for enhancing the integration of electric vehicles (EVs) into grid, offering benefits, such distributed energy resource (DER) integration, grid stability support, and peak demand management, among others, well environmental advantages. This study provides comprehensive review V2G systems, with specific focus on role communication, they have been identified key enablers, challenges that must face. It begins by introducing fundamentals including their architecture, operation, description benefits different sectors. then delves communication technologies protocols in highlighting requirements achieving reliable efficient between EVs agents involved. A standards is described, main technologies, which are evaluated terms suitability applications. Furthermore, discusses implications technology, emphasizing importance addressing strong communications to maximize its potential benefits. Finally, future research directions solutions overcoming systems outlined, useful insights researchers, policymakers, administrations related industry stakeholders.
