Why Bidirectional Charging is The Next Big Thing for EV Owners

Wallbox

Well, when an EV is charged, AC (alternating current) electricity from the grid is converted to DC (direct current) electricity, the kind that can be used by a car. This conversion is carried out by either the car’s own converter or a converter located in the charger. V2G: Vehicle to Grid.
