Your sporty electric vehicle could soon act as a power source for your home thanks to bidirectional charging in EVs.
New technology could make it possible to use your electric vehicle as a power source for your home. While the idea might seem a little silly, utilizing your electric vehicle as a source of energy for your house could help during power outages and other emergencies. The new tech is called bidirectional charging, and when utilized in EVs, it allows power transfer from the EV battery back to a house’s power system.
Then, during the peak, more expensive hours, you could utilize your car as a power source for your home, thus saving on some energy output from your electric company. You could use your electric vehicle to charge devices and power small appliances while camping, too. It’s a bit complicated overall, but if you really want to save a few dollars throughout the month, it could be an ideal way to do so without having to install solar panels around your home.
