Unlike most existing EV charging technology, which sends energy only in one direction — from a power source to a car’s battery — bidirectional charging allows the vehicle to send that energy for use by other devices. Through a converter that’s usually present in the charger, it allows vehicles to send energy directly back to the grid.
