Batteries get more powerful , charging grows more efficient, and the path to an all-EV future becomes increasingly clear. The potential of this technology now extends beyond simply powering the cars we drive. Through a converter that’s usually present in the charger, it allows vehicles to send energy directly back to the grid.

V2G tech is a subset of bidirectional charging technology, which is any type of charging hardware and software that allows an electric vehicle to pass its stored energy to another destination. V2G technology specifically allows you to pass that energy back to the power grid, usually in exchange for credits against your utility bills.

To make it clear, in a unidirectional (one-way) EV charger, electricity flows from the electric grid into the electric vehicle and with a bidirectional (two-way) EV charger, electricity can flow both ways. Let’s put it this way, if you’ve already paid to charge your vehicle, why not use the left-over power to run your home too?
