What is bidirectional charging?
Bidirectional charging is a type of EV charging that charges the car’s battery whilst storing and supplying power to other electronic devices. There are multiple types of bidirectional charging including Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G), Vehicle-to-Home (V2H), and Vehicle-to-Load (V2L).
How does bidirectional charging work?
When an electric vehicle (EV) is connected for charging, it converts alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC) for storage in the car’s battery. When power is needed for another device, the DC is converted back to AC by a converter in the vehicle or charger. This AC electricity can power homes or offices, or be sent back to the grid.
