Why Bidirectional Charging is The Next Big Thing for EV Owners

Wallbox

Well, when an EV is charged, AC (alternating current) electricity from the grid is converted to DC (direct current) electricity, the kind that can be used by a car. This conversion is carried out by either the car’s own converter or a converter located in the charger. V2G: Vehicle to Grid.

The difference between kW and kWh | EV Basics

Setec Powerr

You can quickly convert watts (W) to kilowatts (kW) by diving your wattage by 1,000: 1,000W 1,000 = 1 kW. So, a kWh refers to the amount of 1000 watts of energy your household consumes per hour. The total output energy produced by a solar system, as well as the amount stored in solar batteries is measured this way.

More details about California’s proposal requiring bidirectional charging capabilities for all EVs

Charged EVs

You could do V2G through the DC port of the vehicle—this is what we are doing with school buses here in California, where our charging station converts AC to DC and then connects to the DC port of the vehicle to provide power. Charged : Does the bill refer to both of those options or does it leave it open?

Volkswagen unveils mid-size SUV plug-in diesel-electric hybrid concept at Detroit Show

Green Car Congress

A DC/DC converter supplies the vehicle’s electrical system with the 12V power it needs. This charges the battery via the TDI engine while driving to store enough electrical energy in the battery for EV operation later in the journey—for example, in an urban area. This is referred to as “coasting.”
