Utrecht, a largely bicycle-propelled city of 350,000 just south of Amsterdam, has become a proving ground for the bidirectional-charging techniques that have the rapt interest of automakers, engineers, city managers, and power utilities the world over. This is good for the grid. It’s yet to be shown clearly why that’s good for the driver.

Converting a gas appliance to a heat pump, for example, would draw 4 to 6 kW, while an L2 charger for EVs would be 12 to 14 kW. Policy runs up against engineering reality The situation in Palo Alto is not unique. For instance, Marshall stated, it is not unusual for a 37.5 million miles of power lines.

You might even see Rivian products cruising down the neighborhood, which is more than we can say for brands like Faraday Future and Lordstown Motors. Former employees have said management has asked engineers to cut up to $40,000 (per vehicle) in terms of parts and production expenses. It’s certainly not a good sign.

Also, besides giving you the ability to charge at night when most utility rates are lower, future vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology may allow you to sell some of your stored energy back to the utilities. Maybe you should ask some engineers at the local power utility before you go shooting your mouth off, decrying how the idea will never fly.
