Bidirectional charging EV batteries could help EU save over $23 billion a year


Increased EV adoption paves the way for the use of their batteries as mobile and decentralized energy storage potentially saving billions of euros annually.

A large fleet of EVs in a country or region like the EU can store excess energy generated in renewable facilities daily and feed it back to the grid when demand increases.
