Federal facilities and their fleets serve critical missions that may be compromised or require backup power in the event of a grid outage. As the federal government moves toward fleet electrification, site decarbonization, and deployment of local distributed energy resources (DERs), agencies should consider both managed and bidirectional charging.
Bidirectional vehicles can also power the grid through ‘vehicle to grid’ (V2G) to provide various grid services, although the programs to incentivize these grid services are not yet widely in place for vehicle applications.
A bidirectional EV can receive energy from an EVSE (charge) and provide energy to an external load (discharge), and is often paired with a similarly capable EVSE. Often bidirectional vehicles are employed to provide backup power to buildings or specific loads, sometimes as part of a microgrid, through 'vehicle to building' (V2B).
