Bidirectional Charging (V2G, V2H, V2X)

Bidirectional charging is an advanced technology allowing an Electric Vehicle (EV) not only to consume electricity to recharge its battery but also to feed energy back to various recipients.

Depending on the system type, this technology can work in several ways: V2G (Vehicle-to-Grid): The EV feeds electricity back to the electrical grid, contributing to demand management and grid stability. V2H (Vehicle-to-Home): Electricity is fed back to a house, allowing it to be used as an alternative power source when needed. V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything): Allows an EV to supply energy to various entities, such as buildings or specific infrastructure, offering increased flexibility for users and the network.

This technology plays a key role in energy management and the transition to sustainable mobility and energy systems.
