At the moment, the automobile industry in Japan and the United States is pioneering the development of marketable vehicle models; they also produce the highest-selling models on the market. Lithium-ion batteries are currently used in approximately 80% of electric vehicles, and therefore represent the dominant technology by far.

Starting this year, thousands of battery-powered electric drive Volkswagen vehicles capable of both loading and offloading current—bidirectional charging, as industry calls it—have been rolling off production lines in eastern Germany. And he’s skeptical about the cost factor in home bidirectional chargepoints.

Due to “unforeseen battery supply constraints,” fewer than expected RAV4 Primes have gotten to the USA. Toyota hopes to get at least 5,000 to the United States through the end of 2020, with 20,000 more made available in 2021.
