Vehicle to Home
Charging of EVs takes place predominantly at home, offering important potential for smart charging and V2X functionalities. It can increase the uptake of EVs due to its benefits and ease of use, increase the utilization of locally produced renewable energy through the consumption of local renewable energy, and lower the dependency on the grid.
