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?

They wanted to see whether an electric vehicle could feed electricity back to the grid. The company’s president, Tom Gage , dubbed the system “vehicle to grid” or V2G. And with the revival of the EV, the V2G concept was reborn. Once electricity is generated and passes into the grid, it is typically used almost immediately.
