CHARGING & INFRASTRUCTURE
CHARGING & INFRASTRUCTURE
Aside from allowing societies to move to flexible energy consumption systems , bi-directional charging can help :
1 . Reduce costs relating to transmission , distribution and transformation infrastructure .
2 . Improve grid resilience through decentralised generation and flexible consumption .
3 . Alter the status quo by decentralising and democratising energy and providing the end user with tools to optimise and control their energy consumption and gain energy independence .
4 . Build a new infrastructure paradigm by using EVs as a decentralised power network connected through bi-directional charger . An EV can store enough electricity to supply up to 5 homes for 24h , at scale the technology will transform energy networks as we know them .
