Summary
A housing association in Hudiksvall, Sweden, uses bidirectional charging technology that allows residents to power their homes with energy stored in their electric vehicle batteries. The system enables eight families to save on electricity bills by using car batteries to supply household energy during peak demand times. The setup involves EVs connected to charging points in garages, allowing surplus energy to flow back into homes when needed.
