Bidirectional EV Chargers

Bidirectional EV charging — often called V2G (vehicle-to-grid), V2H (vehicle-to-home) or V2L (vehicle-to-load) depending on the use case — is moving fast from demo projects into real products. Instead of being just a sink for electrons, an EV with a bidirectional charger can be a flexible energy asset: charge when power is cheap or solar is abundant, then send stored energy back to the house (backup or peak-shaving) or to the grid when prices or demand justify it.
