Bidirectional EVs Face Utility Interconnection Hurdles at Scale
Original: Bidirectional EVs at a New Scale: Working With Utilities to Get Interconnection Ready
Ford is highlighting the challenge of connecting large fleets of bidirectional electric vehicles to power grids, stressing the need to work closely with utilities on interconnection readiness. Vehicle-to-grid technology can let EVs supply power back to homes and utilities, but scaling it up requires grid approvals, metering and utility cooperation. The piece frames utility partnership as the next bottleneck for bidirectional charging beyond pilot programs.
Why now: Vehicle-to-grid charging is moving from pilots to commercial scale, raising practical questions about utility interconnection
