Bi-directional EV charging has long been the white whale of electric vehicle owners in Australia, and at long last ARENA has released a chart revealing where this elusive leviathan of energy storage can be found. The National Roadmap for Bidirectional EV Charging, commissioned by ARENA and the RACE for 2030 Cooperative Research Centre, details what governments and industry need to do so Australians can use their EV batteries to power their homes and feed into the broader energy grid. The report found that international suppliers of bidirectional charging products have been dissuaded by Australia’s jumble of network connection policies and smart-grid integration architectures that are “novel, opaque and jurisdictionally fragmented”.
