This paper targets the wireless communications community and frames V2G as a 5G-enabled smart grid vertical, linking business, governance, social, and infrastructure barriers to concrete communication-system requirements. Building on a PRISMA-guided systematic review of 974 V2G/V2X publications (2009–2025), and 162 implementation-critical studies, we adopt a four-domain framework of non-technical barriers: Business/Economic, Governance/Policy, Social, and Infrastructure/Ecosystem. Temporal and regional analyses show a shift from technical dominance to multidisciplinary integration after 2021. We translate these domains into communication requirements for V2G verticals, including fine-grained metering and settlement, protocol interoperability (e.g., ISO 15118, OCPP), privacy-by-design data governance, latency- and reliabilitydifferentiated services, and edge–cloud partitioning for flexibility control. The results demonstrate that 5G design for V2G cannot be a purely technical optimization task and must integrate socio-technical constraints from the outset, suggesting research directions for sustainable, data-driven V2G communication architectures.  \nIndex Terms—Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G); Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X); 5G; Smart grid verticals; Non-technical barriers; Sociotechnical systems; Sustainable mobility; Communication networks; PRISMA systematic review.  \nI. INTRODUCTION  \nVehicle-to-Grid (V2G) and broader Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) technologies have emerged as key enablers of lowcarbon power systems and smart cities, allowing electric vehicles not only to decarbonize transport but also to provide flexibility and storage to electricity networks facing high renewable penetration and evolving resiliency demands [1], [2] . Although considerable technical progress has been achieved in device interoperability, communication protocols, bidirectional charging, and battery management, large-scale deployment remains constrained less by engineering limits than by nontechnical challenges such as business feasibility, regulatory readiness, user acceptance, and ecosystem coordination [3]–[5] .  \nWhy now? With 974 V2G/V2X studies published between 2009 and 2025, technical solutions abound, yet deployment  \ntrajectories are fragmented and often stall after pilots, indicating that non-technical barriers now dominate the bottleneck. Analyzing these factors is timely as Europe commercializes V2G mainly through pilots, several Asian countries focus on infrastructure scaling, and global standards mature, revealing implementation gaps that this line of work addresses [1], [3],[4] . In parallel, V2G is increasingly positioned as a 5G-enabled smart grid vertical within IoT-based energy and mobility systems, making it essential to understand how socio-technical barriers translate into communication-system requirements.  \nThis article builds on a companion systematic review published in Energies [6], which develops a four-domain sociotechnical framework, transition levers, and non-technical key performance indicators (KPIs) for V2G deployment bas","cbCaiiFCd3jWyMjg","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiiFCd3jWyMjg","pdf",1126203,1,"English","en",105,"# Introduction\n## Motivation and
