en.Wedoany.com Reported - Verdek LLC and Andromeda Power LLC have announced a strategic technology partnership to jointly launch a bidirectional charging and discharging platform based on MotorTransformer™ technology, enabling electric vehicles to directly supply up to 133 kilowatts of power to buildings and the grid. This collaboration was unveiled at the Second Annual US Vehicle-to-Grid 2026 Summit, aiming to address the bottleneck in the V2G (Vehicle-to-Grid) and V2B (Vehicle-to-Building) markets, which have long been constrained by the high cost of bidirectional charging hardware.

Traditional bidirectional charging systems typically cost over $100,000 per interface, limiting deployment to small-scale pilot phases. The MotorTransformer™ technology, developed by Andromeda Power, repurposes a vehicle's existing traction motor as an electrically isolated transformer while parked, enabling native high-power AC bidirectional operation without additional hardware, added vehicle weight, or replacement of existing AC infrastructure. Key performance indicators of the platform include: a 90% reduction in infrastructure costs compared to off-board DC systems; 133 kW bidirectional AC operation (compliant with J3068/J3068-2 standards); 97.9% round-trip efficiency; an onboard bill of materials (BOM) cost of $1,500; validation through 50 kW bench testing; and protection by issued patents.

The total addressable market for V2X services is expected to exceed $50 billion by the early 2030s. Verdek brings 18 years of experience in EV charging infrastructure deployment, with deep integration with tier-one hardware partners such as ChargePoint and ABB; Andromeda Power provides foundational intellectual property and an engineering roadmap. The commercialization roadmap indicates that a Nissan Leaf prototype validation is planned for completion in 2026, commercial fleet integration partnerships will launch in Q4 2026, the first commercial fleet deployment is expected in early 2027, and global V2X ecosystem expansion will follow in 2027 and beyond. The Nissan Leaf prototype is funded by the California Energy Commission.
