In recent testimony, Nuvve CEO Gregory Poilasne told the lawmakers that bidirectional charging can reduce the total cost of EV ownership, and that it’s essential for integrating more renewable energy into the grid. Then it takes the DC from the bus, or car, and converts it back to AC to provide power for the grid. That’s one way.

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). Maybe it's not out of necessity that you don't have access to the grid,” Andersen says.

Whilst with unidirectional (one-way) EV chargers, electricity flows from the electric grid into the electric vehicle, with bidirectional (two-way) EV chargers, electricity can flow both ways. This is done using data connections between the EV and the charger. V2G: Vehicle to Grid. But how does this work? V2H: Vehicle to Home.

This would create an energy market in which only the amount of electricity actually in demand is fed into the grid.

Over the past year in Denmark, Nissan has been testing a vehicle-to-grid option. Using Nissan bi-directional charging, customers can draw energy from the grid to power their car or van and then ‘sell’ excess back to the grid for others to use. With fewer emissions, our cities and air will be cleaner.

Once weve consolidated everything to depend on the grid, we can clean up everything by cleaning up the grid. Merely connecting the cable has to do the work.
