Bidirectional charging could be a game-changer for the energy transition—and your wallet. According to a recent study by Transport & Environment, bidirectional charging has the potential to save energy providers and EV drivers in the EU over €100 billion within the next decade. For individual EV owners, this translates to potential savings of over €700 annually.

But today, high public charging costs in many European countries are still making e-mobility less attractive to the broader population. How could bidirectional charging be the solution to reverse this trend? And how can bidirectional charging help unlock new opportunities for EV drivers and the energy system? We discuss this with Michael Keller, CTO of CharIN and a long-time advocate for e-mobility innovation.
