Bidirectional Charging

Bidirectional charging refers to a technology that enables the flow of electrical energy in two directions between a power source, such as an electric vehicle (EV) or a battery, and a power grid or another device. This capability allows an electric vehicle not only to receive energy from the grid for charging but also to send stored energy back to the grid or to power other devices.

This technology is particularly useful for applications such as vehicle-to-grid (V2G) systems, where EVs can help balance electrical loads, provide backup power, or store renewable energy generated from sources like solar or wind. Bidirectional charging enhances the overall efficiency and resilience of energy systems by facilitating energy storage and distribution, contributing to a more sustainable energy ecosystem.
