‘We consider this technology to be an important pillar of a sustainable energy supply,’ explains Ford manager Oliver Adrian. Thanks to bidirectional charging, electric cars will also be able to fulfil an important function when parked in the future: As additional storage units, the electric cars will help to flexibly adapt on-site power generation to current demand.
In future, Ford models with a high-voltage battery with a capacity of 77 or 79 kilowatt hours will be able to use stored solar power to supply buildings. A minimum discharge limit of 20 per cent applies to the high-voltage battery in the vehicle to ensure that the electric car remains ready to drive at all times. The Edison V2H charging solution consists of the Edison Connect bidirectional DC charging station and the Edison Power DC/DC converter. In combination with a new S10 E Compact home power station, the V2H wallbox can be ordered from certified specialist partners. (nhp)
