Why is AC bidirectionality key to large-scale V2G implementation?

The smarter E Podcast Episode 95 | 09. Juni 2022 | Language: German

A key element of the energy transition is an integrative approach, with all sectors pulling in the same direction. Given the ubiquity and high energy consumption of transportation - from cars to buses and trucks - electric vehicles are expected to become an integral part of the energy system as a whole. New mobility and energy worlds are intertwining. Novel approaches such as bidirectional charging and V2X could support grid operations and stability. What do new charging technologies look like? Why is AC bidirectionality key to large-scale V2G implementation? And how can innovative charging models support the energy systems of the future? Dennis Schulmeyer, CEO of Lade GmbH, reveals this and more to us.
