EV chargers for V2G and V2H to arrive in Australia within weeks, after long delays

Unlike standard one-way EV chargers, bidirectional chargers can also discharge energy from an EV, which means they can be used to power a home and its appliances, or to export energy to the grid.

If all of Australia's 19 million cars were EVs, they would hold energy equivalent to more than 10,000 Tesla Big Batteries, or enough to stabilise the grid and remove the need for large commercial batteries.
