In this episode Ted Flanigan discusses the promise of bi-directional EV charging with Zach Woogen, Executive Director of the Vehicle-Grid Integration Council. EVs will not only draw power from the grid, but will be able to discharge power to homes and businesses to provide back-up power. Moreover, they can discharge electricity to the grid to support local utilities and at the same time provide drivers with a new source of income. Ford, General Motors, Kia, Polestar,Tesla, and others are all developing technology to unlock these multiple benefits for both consumers and utilities.
