With bi-directional charging, Volvo's new EX90 could potentially save you money on power bills.
that can detect whether a loved one has been left behind in the cabin or trunk.
The latest tidbit is the availability of bi-directional charging, though the system may not be offered at launch and availability will be dependent on grid suitabilty in specific markets. Bi-directional charging, also referred to as vehicle-to-grid or vehicle-to-load charging, is where the vehicle is able to discharge electricity, either back into the grid, or to power a home, or to power an electric device where a power outlet isn't available, like at a camp or construction site. Volvo's bi-directional charging will also be able to charge other electric vehicles, though Volvo only mentioned other electric Volvos.
Acting as a battery for your home could potentially help you save money, as the vehicle could be charged during off-peak hours when electricity prices are low, or even via solar panels, and then this electricity could be used during peak hours. Depending on the grid, it may also be possible to sell back electricity to the grid during peak hours.
Managing it all will be the smart charging function of the Volvo Cars app. The function has been programed to ensure that the battery is charged and discharged in a way that helps preserve the battery.The EX90 will start sales in 2023, meaning we'll likely see it arrive as a 2024 model. Production for North America and other markets will be handled at Volvo's plant near Charleston, South Carolina.
