There have been vigorous debates pro and con in the United States and elsewhere over whether electric grids can support EVs at scale. This situation is not true universally. The answer is a nuanced “perhaps.” There are places even today where we can’t even take one more heat pump without having to rebuild the portion of the system.

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.
