The general principle for bidirectional charging is EVs can either feed power from a charged vehicle back into the house (vehicle-to-home or V2H) or interact with the electric grid itself (vehicle-to-grid or V2G). In case of power outage at home, the DC pins in the charger can send juice back into the house, keeping the lights on.

Not only are the charging stations placed conveniently, but by using a ChargeNet DC rapid charger , you can typically add about a 100 km range in 15 – 30 minutes, depending on how many kW you want, and the connection that your EV uses. On the flipside, EVs have actually proven to be a benefit rather than a drain on the power grid.

The challenge for the makers there is that there are multiple DC fast charging networks out there run by different companies.
