How can the bidirectional charging capability of electric vehicles contribute to a more sustainable and cost-effective energy system?

Electric vehicle (EV) batteries, ranging from 40 kWh (Renault R5) to 77 kWh (VW ID.4), can power homes and feed electricity back into grids via bidirectional chargers. This V2G (Vehicle-to-Grid) technology uses excess solar power stored in EV batteries during the day to supply homes at night, potentially saving households money and reducing reliance on additional home battery storage.
