As the electrification market inches from the pilot phase to everyday use cases, the magnitude of the effort and the cost came into sharper focus at the industry's biggest clean transportation event.
In vehicle-to-grid (V2G) solutions, the e-car is part of the power system and can provide flexibility services to the distribution grid by storing electricity and feeding it back into the grid.
Bidirectional Charging: Bidirectional, or vehicle-to-grid (V2G), charging lets EV owners charge at overnight off-peak rates then sell power back to grids at a profit during peak hours.
Automakers and utilities are gearing up for V2G technology, enabling EV owners to sell power back to grids. Major players like GM, Ford, Volkswagen, and Nuvve are actively involved in this evolving landscape of bidirectional charging.
