en.Wedoany.com Reported - Swedish state-owned power company Vattenfall, Energy Bank, and Volkswagen have jointly launched a new bidirectional electric vehicle (EV) charger project in Sweden. The project plans to install 200 bidirectional chargers. These devices can not only supply power to electric vehicles but also feed electricity from the vehicle batteries back into the grid.

Bidirectional EV chargers allow electric vehicles to function as mobile energy storage units when idle, supporting grid stability. Magnus Berg, Head of Customer Products & Solutions at Vattenfall, stated: "If the battery can generate revenue while supporting the grid, this can improve the economics and value of owning an electric vehicle and promote continued electrification." These chargers will be deployed at select homes and Volkswagen dealerships.

Unlike gasoline and diesel vehicles, electric vehicles can operate using clean energy sources such as hydropower, solar, and wind power. Through bidirectional charging technology, EVs can also help reduce carbon emissions and improve energy utilization efficiency. This project aims to explore the potential of electric vehicles in grid services and promote the development of sustainable transportation.
