As VW’s sales chief, Imelda Labbe declared, “We’re actively driving the vitality transition.” According to Labbé, electric vehicle (EV) owners can now benefit from reduced energy costs following the introduction of bidirectional charging capabilities.

Volkswagen had originally planned to debut bidirectional charging capabilities in its electric vehicles by 2022, but software development setbacks pushed back the timeline. The system transforms your electric vehicle into a mobile energy storage facility.

Considering the fluctuating costs of electricity, bidirectional charging has the potential to alleviate strain on the grid by providing power to your residence during peak hours, thereby helping to stabilize energy demand and supply seamlessly?

Volkswagen spearheaded a pioneering pilot initiative in collaboration with HagerEnergy GmbH, set amidst the Scandinavian backdrop of Sweden. With a residential energy station and integrated Home Energy Management System (HEMS), electric vehicle owners can harness their on-site solar energy generation to offset their daily electricity consumption.

Homeowners can optimize the charging of their electric vehicles (EVs) by leveraging electrical energy tariffs and advanced algorithms, effectively capturing excess renewable energy during periods of abundance to store it for future use.

The system can provide electrical energy for approximately two full days, assuming 30 kWh of typical daily power consumption, as specified by VW.

Volkswagen announced that numerous ID models will offer enhanced connectivity features going forward. Electric vehicles featuring a 77 kWh battery will seamlessly integrate with existing models equipped with an ID. Software program 3.5.

Initially, the relevant EVs were exclusively compatible with the S10 Compact series from HagerEnergy. Volkswagen (VW) expects that dwellings equipped with bidirectional energy storage systems and capable of bi-directional charging will become available in the future.

Electrek’s Take

Volkswagen has long promised its ID electric models would facilitate bidirectional charging.

The software program has finally arrived, but it seems destined to be incredibly limited at first. Despite this

What’s the discharge pace? Will the chosen charging method be compatible with advanced smart charging systems like Wallbox Quasar that require specific communication protocols and authentication processes? Will Volkswagen launch a software upgrade option for older models, enabling them to meet stricter emissions standards? We’ve contacted Volkswagen and requested additional information, but unfortunately, we’re still waiting to hear back from them.

A Volkswagen spokesperson has confirmed key details, which we’ve verified below.

Several major automakers, including Hyundai, Volvo, and Ford, among others, have implemented this technology. As electric vehicle adoption surges to new heights, the technology may play a crucial role in stabilizing the power grid while providing innovative options for homeowners to reduce their energy expenditures significantly.
