With the so-called vehicle-to-grid or V2G technology, this can generate up to 20 euros per electric vehicle per month. This lowers the total cost of ownership and further promotes the acceptance of electric vehicles. The compact charging station enables fast and flexible charging and is compatible with both current and future electric vehicles. According to ABB, the charging station meets the most stringent grid compatibility requirements. Bi-directional charging stations can also be used to stabilise fluctuating power generation from renewable energy sources. As part of the partnership with EDF, ABB is initially providing bidirectional V2G chargers in France. The technology will then be installed in the UK, Italy, Belgium and Germany. (mfo)
