With The Bidirectional Zone, we are building on the tremendous success of the special exhibition on bidirectional charging at Power2Drive Europe 2025. The enormous interest from visitors clearly demonstrated how far the technology has advanced in recent years and that it is now poised to take the next step: the transition from pilot projects to widespread rollout. Technical solutions are market-ready, and concrete business models are within reach.
Now it is crucial to establish the final regulatory requirements to enable bidirectional charging on a large scale. In 2026, we will focus on this phase of transformation and offer the latest research findings, practical applications, in-depth expert discussions, and guided tours. The Bidirectional Zone will thus become the central meeting place for everyone who wants to actively help shape the transition from pilot operations to implementation. Visit us in Hall C6 at the East Entrance.
We will continue our focus on the important topic of bidirectional charging in 2026, with a particular focus on e-fleets. You can look forward to exciting content, the latest study results, guided tours, and experts on site. Plan your visit to the Bidirectional Zone now and come see us in Hall C6 via the East Entrance.
Bidirectional charging pays off: Our new study shows that V2X-enabled electric vehicle fleets are economically attractive across all segments. Lower total cost of ownership, additional revenue potential, and tax benefits make the switch a future-proof investment. A solid basis for decision-making for fleet operators who want to secure tomorrow’s economic efficiency and energy flexibility today.
The study will be presented on June 23, 2026, at Power2 Drive Europe. Visit us at 3:00pm at Booth C6.450 to get the latest insights firsthand! You can also view the results at any time in the Bidirectional Zone and learn more during related tours.
At The smarter E Europe, numerous leading companies will present their solutions and innovations. Make the most of this opportunity to engage with experts, experience technology live in action and forge new partnerships.
From technical articles and studies to webinars and podcasts – make sure you seize this opportunity to expand your knowledge and explore the versatile potential of bidirectional charging.
