Wallbox and Kia America are collaborating to introduce bidirectional charging to Kia's EV9 customers.
In this article, I’m going to share some news from Kia and Wallbox about their plan to offer bidirectional charging, but I wanted to take the opportunity to give readers unfamiliar with V2X technology a quick primer on it. If you already know all this, feel free to skip to the end!While EVs are very efficient compared to ICE, they still require a lot of electrical power to move. A typical microwave requires around 1 kilowatt of electricity while it’s cooking. Cooktops take a bit more.
At rapid charging stations, you can get anywhere from 50-350 kW to get back on the road in 20-60 minutes, but you’ve still got to put that power into the battery and bring it with you. When we consider how expensive large EV battery packs are, and consider how much of an environmental impact it took to create them , we’re letting a valuable resource sit around a lot and do nothing for us. That’s probably not great.The obvious thing is that they can be used to store energy. Even if you have no way to get power out of the car, you often have some choice as to when you charge the vehicle.
Finally, EV batteries can come in big handy off-grid. At jobsites with no power, camping areas on the edge of the wilderness, and for people trying to live entirely without utility power, an EV is a great way to carry a lot of power with you. The Kia EV9 has a battery capacity ranging from 76 to 100kWh, which is more than 5 times the energy capacity of a standard 13.5kWh home storage system. With this amount of energy, it can power a typical household’s energy consumption for up to four days, eliminating the need for costly home energy storage systems.
