Bidirectional EV charging, which enables vehicle-to-grid (V2G) features and other nifty stuff, is steadily moving from pilot projects to commercial deployments. The latest news comes from Volkswagen Group Sverige, which plans to deploy commercial bidirectional charging at its dealerships in Sweden.
Volkswagen’s system enables EVs to supply electricity to homes and the grid. It combines bidirectional-capable Volkswagen Group vehicles with bidirectional chargers from MOON (a sister company of the Volkswagen Group), and software from Energy Bank, which manages charging, energy storage and power exports.
Energy Bank and Volkswagen have collaborated on bidirectional charging since 2021. They developed the system at the Stenberg Living Lab in Hudiksvall. The commercial rollout expands the technology from a pilot project to a service offered through Volkswagen Group’s dealer network in Sweden.
“This is the moment when bidirectional charging moves from promising technology to commercial infrastructure,” said Christian Jacobsson, CEO of Energy Bank. “With MOON and Volkswagen as strategic partners, we can bring bidirectional charging to customers at scale and create value for EV owners and the electricity system.”
