Talk of session: Will Bidirectional Charging Make Home and Commercial Storage Systems Superfluous or are They a Perfect Match?

Bidirectional charging and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology in particular use the storage capacities of vehicle batteries to make our energy system more flexible, efficient and cost-effective. So do we still need home storage systems at all? In this session, the leading manufacturers of home storage systems will take a stand on the topic. Accompanying session to the Special Exhibit Bidirectional Charging.
