What if your electric car not only stores electricity – but can also give it back? Bidirectional charging opens up completely new ways of using energy, where the car becomes an active part of the energy system and contributes to both flexibility, preparedness and smarter use of electricity.

Electric cars and bidirectional charging

What if your car could provide electricity back – to your home, the building you work in or to the entire power grid? With bidirectional charging, this is no longer the future, but technology that is making its way into everyday life.

 

In this digital lecture, you will get a simple and concrete introduction to how it works – and why it is relevant to you. We go through the terms V2G (Vehicle-to-Grid), V2H (Vehicle-to-Home) and V2B (Vehicle-to-Building), and show how the electric car's battery can be used smarter than just for charging.

 

You'll also gain insight into how a single solution can meet multiple needs: saving on electricity costs at home at night, while providing flexibility to the grid when demand is low.

 

This is the lecture for those who are curious about new technology, energy-smart solutions and how the electric car can become an important part of the energy system of the future.
