The future is bidirectional charging.
One-way vs bidirectional chargers
Unlike a conventional one-way charger, a bidirectional charger is capable of both charging and discharging your EV. Discharging your EV allows you to save on your home electricity costs, earn passive income from your utility, provide home backup in case of a power outage, and reduce carbon emissions on the grid.
The best part? We can do all these without negatively impacting your EV battery health.

Make up to $1000 a year of passive income with your parked EV.
When the electricity demand spikes in the power grid, your fully charged EV can discharge some stored energy back into the grid for a fee (just like a power plant would).
Enjoy passive income on your EV investment while using the Bidirectional Energy app to ensure your EV always has the range you need.
Power your home with your EV.
In case of a power outage, discharge your EV battery to keep your critical appliances turned on, like your refrigerator, internet router, heatpump, and lights.
On a day-to-day basis, you can choose to use your EV to lower your home energy bill too. The Bidirectional Energy app lets you partially offset your home energy usage when electricity is expensive.
