‍

This Incentive Program Participation Agreement (this Agreement) is entered into by Bidirectional Energy, Inc., a Delaware corporation (Sponsor or us), and the undersigned person (Participant or you) as of the date of your acceptance of this Agreement (the Effective Date). You may accept this Agreement by clicking the applicable box in our email invitation to join the Program or through such other methods as are described in that invitation. If the person accepting this Agreement is doing so on behalf of a company or other entity, then such person represents and warrants that they have full authority to bind such entity to this Agreement (in which case, the terms “Participant” and “you” shall refer to such entity). Each of Sponsor and Participant may be referred to in this Agreement individually as a Party and collectively as the Parties. 

BACKGROUND

Sponsor is conducting this Bidirectional EV Charging Incentive Program (this Program) as part of our larger project titled Grid-Supportive Residential Bidirectional EV Chargers Towards An Electrified and Decarbonized Future (the Project). Both this Program and the overall Project are provided with the financial support of the Connecticut Innovative Energy Solutions Program (IES), which is led by the Connecticut Public Utilities Regulatory Authority (PURA), and provided in partnership with the United Illuminating Company and The Connecticut Light & Power Company d/b/a Eversource Energy (the EDCs).

This is a limited term Program. In order to achieve our Program goals in the time available, participants must act promptly at all stages of the Program. Please pay careful attention to all applicable timelines set forth on our website or in other Program documentation (Program Timelines). We reserve the right to reasonably modify or update such Program Timelines at any time during the term of the Program by providing you with advance written notice of such change.  A failure to adhere to Program Timelines could result in your disqualification from the Program.

This Program has limited enrollment capacity. Your spot in the Program will not be reserved until you have accepted this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Parties agree as follows:

A. General Program Requirements.

1. Purchase of an Approved Charger. You must purchase (directly from the manufacturer or an authorized distributor) a bidirectional EV charger (a Charger) that is approved for use in theProgram. The date you submit a binding, non-refundable order for an approved Charger is your Charger Purchase Date. You are solely responsible for the purchase price and all associated delivery charges, taxes, and other fees and charges associated with the purchase of yourCharger. Your purchase and use of such Charger shall be governed solely by your agreements with the provider of the Charger (any such purchase agreement and/or terms & conditions for use are collectively referred to as the Charger T&Cs).

As of September 30, 2025, the only currently approved Charger is the Quasar 2 Bidirectional Charger which is provided by Wallbox USA, Inc. (Wallbox), and which requires the purchase of the associated Wallbox Power Meter (and, if Whole-Home Back Up capability is desired, the Wallbox Power Recovery Unit) (collectively, the Wallbox Charger Equipment). We will provide written notice (which may be by posting to our website) of any additional Chargers that are approved for the Program.

2. Installation of your Charger. You must use an approved installation company (Installer) to install your Charger Equipment at your residence. Such engagement and the installation will be governed by your services contract with such Installer (the Installation Contract). You are solely responsible for the payment to the Installer of all fees and charges associated with the installation of your Charger. 

Installation of yourCharger by any party other than an approved Installer will terminate this Agreement and you will not be entitled to any Program Incentives or any other compensation. COIL, Inc. (COIL) is the only currently approved Installer for the Program. We will provide written notice of any additional approved Installers that are added to the Program.

3. Interconnection of your Charger with the Grid. You must obtain and maintain throughout the Program Term a valid Rule 21 Interconnection Agreement for your Charger. This will allow you to discharge power from your EV to the grid interconnection with Grid Events (see below). You must work with your Installer to file the application for an Interconnection Agreement. Note that filing for anInterconnection Agreement will require payment of a $1,000 application fee which is not refundable and as to which there is no associated ProgramRebate. The date that you file yourInterconnection Application and pay the $1,000 application fee is your Interconnection Application Date.
4. Electric Vehicle. You must own or lease an EV that is compatible with your Charger (including its bidirectional charging functionality) for the duration of your Program Term. Please note that we will not provide any rebates or other financial support for the cost of purchasing, leasing or maintaining your EV. You understand that the manufacturer of your Charger is solely responsible for the compatibility (or incompatibility) of your Charger with any particular make or model of EV. We provide no assurances as to the compatibility of any approved Charger with your EV.
5. Utility Rate Plan and Grid Programs. You understand that a primary purpose of the Program is to gather data regarding EV owners’ participation in grid-balancing efforts through the use of bidirectional chargers.  Therefore, participation in the Program requires that you maintain, throughout your Program Term, enrollment in a qualifying utility rate plan and in Grid Programs as outlined in this Section A.5.
6. A. Utility Rate Plan. During your Program Term, your electric utility account must be enrolled in a qualifying time-varying residential electricity rate plan. We will inform you of the rate plans available from your utility that qualify for the Program, but, generally speaking, qualifying rate plans include: for PG&E service territory, Electric Home (E-ELEC) and Home Charging (EV2A), and for SCE service territory, TOU-D-PRIME, TOU-D-4-9, and TOU-D-5-8. In addition, you agree that, upon request by us, you will enroll in the Hourly Flexible Pricing Demonstration Program with your utility, if available. See here for information about the PG&E Demonstration Program and here for information about the SCE Demonstration Program.
7. B. Grid Programs. During your Program Term, you agree to enroll your electric utility account in such grid balancing programs (Grid Programs) as we request, which may include, among others, the EmergencyLoad Reduction Program and/or the Demand Side Grid Support Program. All of your participation in Grid Programs must be through Bidirectional Energy as the VPP, aggregator, demand response provider, or automated service provider (as the case may be). You authorize us to take such steps as are necessary to enroll or qualify your electric utility account for participation in such Grid Programs. You also agree to provide any additional information, consents, or attestations required in connection with such enrollment or qualification. To the extent that we inform you in writing that any other Grid Program is incompatible with this Program (whether because dual enrollment in such other Grid Program is prohibited by one of our preferred Grid Programs or otherwise), you agree to terminate or disenroll from any such non-compatible Grid Program.

You understand that some Grid Programs restrict the use of fossil-fuel powered backup generators during someGrid Events. 

6. Bidirectional Energy App. Upon the commissioning of your Charger’s bidirectional charging functionality (its Interconnection Date) and continuing for the duration of your Program Term, you must (i) schedule all of your EV charging and discharging activity on your Charger solely through the Bidirectional Energy App, and (ii) keep the settings of your Bidirectional Energy App ‘opted in’ for participation in Grid Events (i.e., occasions when Grid Programs offer compensation for load reduction and grid balancing efforts). If you wish to restrict the amount of power discharged from your EV battery during any particular GridEvent, you can do so by raising the minimum charge reserve threshold, moving the ready-by time earlier, or leaving your EV unplugged. If for any reason you believe that circumstances require you to adjust your Bidirectional Energy App settings to ‘opt out’ of Grid Events, you should contact Bidirectional Energy at ops@bidirectional.energy to discuss.

You understand that your use of the Bidirectional Energy App will be governed by and subject to the Bidirectional Energy Terms of Service and Privacy Policy (collectively, the Bidirectional Energy Terms). To the extent that there is any conflict between the Bidirectional Energy Terms and this Agreement, this Agreement shall control to the extent necessary to resolve such conflict.

7. Additional Matters. In addition to the foregoing, during the Program Term, you must:

1. Maintain a Wi-Fi internet connection for your Charger.
2. Maintain an email account for all communications related to the Program.
3. Allow us to collect and use your Program Data as set forth in Section C below.
4. Pay all taxes, if any, associated with your receipt of Program Incentives, and provide us with such additional information or certifications (such as a Form W-9) as are required in connection with such tax matters.
5. Provide us with such feedback about your experience with the Program, your Charger, and the Bidirectional Energy App as we reasonably request.
6. Participate in any program evaluations that PURA or your EDC might conduct, including, if requested, by allowing PURA or your EDC (or their authorized representative) to visit your residence to review the installation of your Charger. 
7. Comply with all terms and conditions of this Agreement, your Charger T&Cs, your Installation Contract, and the Bidirectional Energy Terms.

B. Program Incentives: Program Rebates and Program Completion Bonus. As described in this Section B, the Program provides for both a Charger Purchase & Installation Rebate (the Rebate) as well as a Program Completion Bonus (collectively with the Rebate, the Program Incentives). All of the Program Incentives are supported by a grant from the California Energy Commission. We have no obligation to pay any Program Incentive to you unless and until we have received specific payment for such amount from the California Energy Commission.

1. Rebate. 

• Calculation of Rebate. The Rebate for Wallbox Charger Equipment shall be equal to 75% of your Covered Costs, provided that the Rebate may not in any event exceed $9,241. For purposes hereof, the term Covered Costs means the (i) the gross purchase price of your Wallbox Charger Equipment (excluding sales tax and shipping and handling), plus (ii) the total service fees payable to the Installer (excluding taxes, permits, and utility interconnection fees) for the installation of your Wallbox Charger Equipment.
• Timing of Rebate Claims. You are not eligible for the Rebate until the Interconnection Date of your Charger. Your Rebate Claim must be submitted to us (with all accompanying materials) within 30 days after the Interconnection Date of your Charger. 
• Other Incentives. Participants in this Program who are PG&E customers may also qualify for participation in PG&E’s Vehicle-to-Everything Pilot Program (the PG&E V2X Pilot). In such case, you may“stack” the incentives offered through the PG&E V2X Pilot to further reduce your out-of-pocket costs that remain after the application of your Rebate; provided that the total amount of your Rebate under this Program plus your PG&E Upfront Incentives may not exceed 100% of your Covered Costs. For purposes hereof, the Upfront Incentives offered in the PG&E V2X Pilot includes (i) the Upfront Infrastructure Incentive (which may be $2,500 or $3,000), (ii) the Early Adopter Incentive ($1,500, if applicable), and (iii) the Interconnection Incentives ($800 and, if applicable, $2,500).

With the exception of the PG&EV2X Pilot, participants in this Program may not stack any other rebates, grants or other incentives received from federal, state, local or utility programs in connection with the purchase or installation of your Charger Equipment (Non-Stackable Incentives). Any such Non-Stackable Incentives will serve to reduce (on a dollar-for-dollar basis) the amount of your Covered Costs that are eligible for a Rebate hereunder.  

You agree to notify us in writing within 5 days of (i) your enrollment in the PG&E V2X Pilot and inform us of the Upfront Incentives for which you qualify, and (ii) your receipt of any Non-Stackable Incentives (including any received after the payment of the Rebate hereunder). To the extent that any Upfront Incentives and/or Non-Stackable Incentives received by you cause the amount you would receive (or have already received) as a Rebate to exceed the amounts permitted under this Section B.1., we may either (i) reduce your Rebate accordingly, or (ii) if already paid to you, request that you repay such excess amount of Rebate. You agree to repay any such excess Rebate amount within 30 days of our request.

4. Rebate Claim Process. To claim the Rebate, you must submit all of the following information to us:

• A signed Rebate Claim (in the form we will provide to you) that will require your certification of compliance with the requirements of this Agreement.
• Receipt for your purchase of the Charger Equipment. You understand that no charging equipment other than the approved Charger Equipment (which is currently only the Wallbox Quasar 2, Power Meter, and (if applicable) Power Recovery Unit, purchased new-in-box and directly from Wallbox or its authorized distributor), is eligible for the Rebate. You must inform the equipment provider at the time of purchase of your enrollment in this Program. 
• Complete copy of the Installer’s installation report for the Charger Equipment, including but not limited to:

• Copy of the Installer’s final invoice for installation services, and receipt for payment
• Copy of the Installer’s Customer Deployment Log
