MUNICH & PFORZHEIM, Germany - Wednesday, 15. January 2025

(BUSINESS WIRE) -- Electric cars equipped with bidirectional charging technology can store electricity and feed it back into the grid when needed. A new study by Transport & Environment (T&E) shows that this could save billions by optimizing the use of generation capacity, reducing curtailment, and lowering fuel consumption.
