Unlike those you may have grown accustomed to seeing, many of these stations don’t just charge electric cars—they can also send power from vehicle batteries to the local utility grid for use by homes and businesses. Debates over the feasibility and value of such vehicle-to-grid technology go back decades. This is good for the grid.

The charging stations that were installed were quite simple in design and operation, and did not connect to a Wi-Fi or cellular network. In fact, most new charging stations installed today are managed for these many benefits. This is greatly important as installing EV charging stations requires capital expenditure. What is V2X?

Charging adapters taking power from the grid are a must-have item for everyone who owns an Electric vehicle or a hybrid. The United States, on the other hand, relies on a 120-volt grid, which means that charging a huge battery can take hundreds of hours. Voltage and prices rise in tandem as performance improves.
