Bidirectional charging (two-way charging) allows energy to flow both ways: from the grid into the car, and from the vehicle to the grid (V2G) or to your home (V2H). More EVs mean more energy consumption and, eventually, increased pressure on our grids. In the end, it’s a win-win for the planet, the grid and the consumer.
