Can bidirectional charging save Europe's energy & mobility sectors?
Bidirectional charging technology has the potential to save billions of euros annually by optimizing electricity usage and reducing system costs. A recent study by Transport & Environment (T&E) reveals that this innovative technology could transform Europe's energy and mobility sectors.
Could bidirectional charging achieve a technological and economic breakthrough in Europe?
Bidirectional charging (BiDi) could thus achieve a technological and economic breakthrough in Europe but it requires clear regulatory framework conditions. Without these, the potential will remain untapped.
Will bidirectional charging save money in the EU?
The event will take place from May 7–9, 2025, at Messe München. The Fraunhofer Institutes estimate that the savings potential from bidirectional charging in the EU could amount to up to €22 billion annually, equivalent to around 8% of the costs of constructing and operating the EU energy system.
Could bidirectional charging save billions?
A new study by Transport & Environment (T&E) shows that this could save billions by optimizing the use of generation capacity, reducing curtailment, and lowering fuel consumption. Bidirectional charging (BiDi) could thus achieve a technological and economic breakthrough in Europe but it requires clear regulatory framework conditions.
