What is bidirectional charging?

Bidirectional charging describes the technology of not only charging an electric vehicle from the grid, but also feeding electricity back into the grid or to consumers. This is often referred to as Vehicle-2-Grid (V2G) or Vehicle-2-Home (V2H). Bidirectional charging opens up immense storage potential

Can bidirectional charging transform EVs into mobile energy storage units?

According to the document, “bidirectional charging has the potential to transform EVs into mobile energy storage units, unlocking substantial value across the energy ecosystem.” To help people ‘navigate’ the complexities of bidirectional charging, the document includes eight so-called one-pagers, looking at the different applications.

Does bidirectional storage reduce energy supply costs in Europe?

The bidirectional development of the existing storage capacity in electric vehicles for the energy system reduces the energy supply costs in Europe compared to a scenario without bidirectional electric vehicles. The use as daily storage improves the system integration of renewable energies and PV energy in particular.

Can bidirectional charging reduce the need for large-scale battery storage?

The additional use of this storage capacity for bidirectional charging could reduce the need for large-scale battery storage beyond the scope of the Electricity Network Development Plan (NEP) and the associated costs and resource consumption. Bidirectional charging is economical for customers
