What is V2H?

Driivz

V2H, or vehicle-to-home, uses smart EV charging and bidirectional (two way) charging to transfer energy stored in the battery of a parked electrical vehicle (EV) to the home for use as a backup power source during outages. Using the energy stored in your EV battery instead of grid energy can also help reduce your carbon footprint.

More details about California’s proposal requiring bidirectional charging capabilities for all EVs

Charged EVs

In recent testimony, Nuvve CEO Gregory Poilasne told the lawmakers that bidirectional charging can reduce the total cost of EV ownership, and that it’s essential for integrating more renewable energy into the grid. A handful of bidirectional-capable EVs are available today, and automakers are quickly implementing the technology.
