What Is Bidirectional Charging? Understanding the Benefits for Both Drivers and Businesses

EV Connect

These exciting new capabilities are catching the eye of automakers and EV charging manufacturers, and many have already made this type of charging available to consumers or plan to do so in the near future. This conversion can happen within the charger or in the vehicle, depending on which device is equipped with a converter.

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

Charged EVs

A handful of bidirectional-capable EVs are available today, and automakers are quickly implementing the technology. Then it takes the DC from the bus, or car, and converts it back to AC to provide power for the grid. On the DC side, we are rolling out a charging station right now with Rhombus. That’s one way.

Bosch Powers the Automotive Sector Toward an Electrified Future

Cars That Think

One of these components is the inverter, which changes direct current (DC) from the car’s batteries into alternating current (AC) to power its drive motor (Figure 1). The inverter’s ability to provide a smooth flow of current depends on its integral DC link capacitor (Figure 2). If connected to DC, the motor simply will not rotate.

What is V2H?

Driivz

In practice, V2H, V2B, and V2L are closer to broad commercial availability than V2G because they are less technically complex. The difference is the destination for the electricity drawn from the EV battery. All are considered emerging technologies, with pilots for V2H and V2G going on around the world.

Toyota Hot and Cold on Plug-in Hybrids

Plugs and Cars

As if to confirm that notion, recently a Toyota spokesman in DC was denigrating plug-in hybrids as Hymotion/A123 and Rob Lowe were making a plug-in splash in Congressman Ed Markey's global warming committee. I look forward to seeing advertisements for plug-in hybrids touting the "best of both worlds" meme.
