Charging network EVgo has installed second-life batteries from two BMW i3s to its charging station in Union City, California, the company announced last week. The two batteries each store 22 kwh of electricity to help balance the load on the power grid when electric cars are charging at peak times, according to a report in Charged EVs.

Unlike most existing EV charging technology, which sends energy only in one direction — from a power source to a car’s battery — bidirectional charging allows the vehicle to send that energy for use by other devices. Through a converter that’s usually present in the charger, it allows vehicles to send energy directly back to the grid.
