In one-directional charging, alternating current (AC) electricity is converted to direct current (DC) energy that’s stored in an EV battery to power the car. With a bidirectional charger, the converter can transform the car’s DC energy back into AC electricity and pass it along to another recipient.

It occurred in the wake of the California electricity crisis of 2000 and 2001, when mismanaged deregulation, market manipulation, and environmental catastrophe combined to unhinge the power grid. Electricity is a commodity that is bought and sold, and yet unlike most other commodities, it cannot easily be stored.

Some people even invest in smart chargers that apply extra power when it gets too cold outside. It’s also possible to take advantage of public charging stations or charging programs offered by certain retail stores. By doing this, less energy will be used because it takes more energy to raise the temperature than maintain it.

The power electronics are effectively a link that controls the flow of high-voltage energy between the motor and the battery. The power electronics convert the direct current (DC) stored in the battery into alternating current (AC). Meanwhile, a DC/DC converter supplies the onboard electronics with 12-volt power.
