Bidirectional Charging – Worth the Hype?

A comprehensive analysis of use cases for strategic orientation

Bidirectional charging is revolutionizing the role of electric vehicles within the energy system. Instead of merely consuming power, they become flexible energy storage units capable of storing electricity for household use or feeding it back into the grid. In the context of the energy and mobility transition, this technology plays a crucial role: by leveraging the inherent flexibility of vehicle batteries, it not only supports grid stability and the integration of renewable energy but also opens the door to innovative business models.

Despite high interest from the automotive industry, charging infrastructure providers, and the energy sector, there are currently few offerings available in the market. Companies face challenges such as standardizing interfaces, integration with existing energy systems, and the economic viability of use cases. Without clear strategies and well-founded knowledge, implementation stalls.

Our new whitepaper provides a concise overview of the most significant use cases for bidirectional charging, analyzes the legal, economic, and technological frameworks, and offers practical solutions. Clear definitions of the market participants, as well as their integration into a holistic and scalable system architecture, are also provided. It empowers businesses to strategically assess the technology’s potential and take concrete steps toward successful implementation.
