Two-way EV charging will reduce that even further- using EV batteries to power homes (vehicle-to-home V2H), buildings (vehicle-to-building V2B) or feed it back to the grid with vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology. Policy makers, regulators, and power industry players must create the environment for V2G to happen.
