Tesla cars can now do vehicle-to-home (V2X) with this new Powerwall competitor

All Tesla vehicles are now capable of bidirectional charging (V2X) thanks to an impressive Powerwall competitor, Sigenergy, which can include a universal bidirectional DC charger. V2X, or bidirectional charging, is becoming a fairly common feature for electric vehicles. Whether it’s in a reasonably low capacity to power tools and other equipment on the go

Phase Shift: V2G Is A Furphy

Some ideas are just too clever to die. Like Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) — the notion that your electric car can act as a home battery. Park it at home, plug it in, and when the sun goes down or prices spike, your car sells energy back to the grid. It’s green, it’s clever, and it feels

Vehicle-to-grid offer launched in bid to unlock gigawatts of flexibility

Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology could provide 38GW of flexible capacity to the grid by 2030 according to Octopus Energy, which is calling for drivers to sign up to the Powerloop V2G consortium launched earlier this week.Having been awarded over £3 million by Innovate UK from a government funded competition in January, Powerloop brings together Octopus Electric
