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).
The flexibility of electric vehicles can be used by means of bidirectional charging in numerous applications to promote self-sufficiency, save costs and support the energy sector via grid and system services.
As we move toward a more electrified energy system, EVs aren't just about driving anymore. They're becoming active players in the grid, able to store and even send energy back. That's the promise of bidirectional charging. But turning that vision into reality is complex, and one thing is clear: we won't get there without working together.
