Bidirectional vehicles employed for building resilience and or load management may qualify for mobile storage financing with various FEMP programs (UESC, ESPC, ESPC ENABLE,
This shift is made possible by the cutting-edge bi-directional charging technology. Bi-directional charging allows EVs to function as mobile energy storage units. Equipped with this technology, EVs can not only draw power from the grid but also return electricity to it, or supply power to homes during peak demand or in the event of blackouts.
Enter bidirectional charging. Think of bidirectional charging like a two-way street for electricity. Instead of traffic flowing in just one direction, energy can travel both ways—into your car when it needs charging, and back out when your home needs power. A bidirectional EV charger is much smarter than a regular EV charger.
While the financial benefits are compelling, bidirectional charging also provides something invaluable: energy security. When severe weather knocks out power lines, or when grid failures leave neighborhoods in the dark, your home stays powered and comfortable. This isn't just about convenience—it's about safety and security.
Sigenergy is proud to be among the first to successfully implement bi-directional charging in a commercial setting. In partnership with NIO, a leading EV manufacturer in China, Sigenergy has demonstrated the viability of bi-directional charging as a mainstream energy solution.
