What is bi directional charging?

As electrically-chargeable vehicle (EV) sales increase across Europe, so too do concerns about the infrastructure needed to support them. Will national energy grids be able to cope? Bi-directional charging can help, as Autovista24 editor Phil Curry explains.

While the CEO of Volkswagen promised bi-directional charging for its MEB platform end 2022, but I just heared from the dealer it will be delayed until 2024/2025. That's a shame if it is true.

Car companys wont warrenty the batter. Manufacturers need to approve across the board.

Sounds good only if I can get compensated from the power company for using the power I have to pay them to charge my car with 🤔.
