The annual financial benefit depends on your situation. We will gladly calculate it for you.

Bidirectional Charging: Key Facts

Bidirectional charging integrates your electric vehicle into your home energy system, which an intelligent energy management system manages automatically for optimal energy use while transparently taking current technical limitations into account.

1
Small loads need a home battery buffer (>1.8 kW limit).
2
Large loads run directly, discharge limited to 20-80% SoC.

Car Battery

Your car battery becomes part of your energy system

Your EV battery unlocks savings while the energy management system automatically optimises energy consumption in real time.

More independence for your home

Capacity comparison:

An electric car battery has five to ten times the capacity of a typical home battery. This allows you to use your solar power for longer and remain independent of the grid for up to several days. Bidirectional charging strengthens your energy system and significantly increases your self-sufficiency.
