Bidirectional electric vehicles (EV) employed as mobile battery storage can add resilience benefits and demand-response capabilities to a site's building infrastructure. . The capacity of EV batteries, coupled with their charging infrastructure, offers the added advantage of supplying flexible demand capacity and providing demand response benefits to the power grid, which is essential as overall demand increases. This is in contrast to traditional EV charging, which is unidirectional, meaning that electricity only flows from the grid to the EV.

Should federal facilities use managed and bidirectional charging?
Federal facilities and their fleets serve critical missions that may be compromised or require backup power in the event of a grid outage. As the federal government moves toward fleet electrification, site decarbonization, and deployment of local distributed energy resources (DERs), agencies should consider both managed and bidirectional charging.
Can bidirectional electric vehicles be used as mobile battery storage?
Bidirectional electric vehicles (EV) employed as mobile battery storage can add resilience benefits and demand-response capabilities to a site's building infrastructure.
Can bidirectional EVs be used as mobile storage?
In contrast to stationary storage and generation which must stay at a selected site, bidirectional EVs employed as mobile storage can be mobilized to a site prior to planned outages or arrive shortly after an unexpected power outage to supplement local generation or serve as an emergency reserve.
Can bidirectional vehicles power the grid?
Bidirectional vehicles can also power the grid through 'vehicle to grid' (V2G) to provide various grid services, although the programs to incentivize these grid services are not yet widely in place for vehicle applications.
Unlike unidirectional charging, bidirectional charging allows electricity to flow both ways—meaning energy can be passed back and forth between an electric vehicle, a house, and the grid. This allows the vehicle to act as a mobile energy storage system, capable of powering electrical. . Bidirectional electric vehicles (EV) employed as mobile battery storage can add resilience benefits and demand-response capabilities to a site's building infrastructure. A bidirectional EV can receive energy (charge) from electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) and provide energy to an external. . By enabling electric vehicles to serve as mobile energy storage units, V2X offers grid stabilization and new business opportunities.
