The smarter E Europe: Bidirectional Charging Saves Billions15.1.2025 14:00:00 CET | Press release
Electric cars equipped with bidirectional charging technology can store electricity and feed it back into the grid when needed. A new study by Transport & Environment (T&E) shows that this could save billions by optimizing the use of generation capacity, reducing curtailment, and lowering fuel consumption. Bidirectional charging (BiDi) could thus achieve a technological and economic breakthrough in Europe but it requires clear regulatory framework conditions. Without these, the potential will remain untapped. In response to these developments, Europe’s largest alliance of energy industry exhibitions, The smarter E Europe, is dedicating a special exhibit to highlight the opportunities and challenges for the mobility and energy industries. The event will take place from May 7–9, 2025, at Messe München. This press release features multimedia.
