The article discusses the theoretical potential of using electric cars as emergency power sources, highlighting the gap between promises and practicality in real-world applications of bidirectional charging.
The article explores the concept of using electric cars as backup power sources, especially in situations where the public electricity grid fails. It emphasizes that while in theory, owning an electric vehicle means not needing a conventional generator, practical solutions for bidirectional charging that do not rely on grid power are still lacking. Despite claims found online suggesting otherwise, the reality remains that achieving this kind of functionality is not straightforward nor widely implemented.
