#V2G / bidirectional charging is reaching the market in Austria 🇦🇹: MOON Power, a Porsche subsidiary, starts selling the Ambibox DC bidirectional charger. The starting price is €3,750 excluding VAT.

As this is Germany, legal and tax clarity was needed on revenues from feeding energy back into the grid: V2G is 'Liebhaberei'. [The simple translation from German is: 'It's a hobby.' However, we could also call it a love affair, which might be mo…
Nissan and Motability Operations are collaborating to scale #V2G with the new Nissan Leaf, which is built in the UK, in order to reduce running costs
