Telecom System Integration and Outdoor Network
Westell offers secure, weather-tight outdoor network enclosures to protect electronic equipment for outdoor telecom networks.
View DetailsWith a bidirectional charger, your EV becomes part of a larger distributed energy network that helps stabilize the grid and makes room for more renewable energy sources like wind and solar. Bidirectional charging is still a new and evolving technology. Here are a few areas of development to be aware of:
In the United States, the legal situation for bidirectional charging is improving, led by federal and state initiatives. The current administration has put forth standards for a National Electric Vehicle Charging Network. This signals strong support for EV infrastructure and BiDi.
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.
For bidirectional (BiDi) charging to reach its full potential, helpful legislation is critical. Governments and regulatory bodies need to create new legal frameworks. These should lower barriers to entry while encouraging both drivers and energy providers to adopt BiDi systems.
