California May Require Bidirectional Charging EVs. That Could Save Lives
Briefly

The new California law could mandate bidirectional charging capabilities in all new electric vehicles, enhancing their ability to provide emergency power during natural disasters.
With V2L charging, EVs can not only power homes but also support the grid during emergencies, as demonstrated during recent severe weather events.
Recent instances have shown electric vehicle owners successfully using their cars as power sources, highlighting the importance of V2L technology in disaster preparedness.
Sen. Nancy Skinner’s bill, S.B. 59, empowers the California Air Resources Board to ensure future EVs are capable of both charging and discharging electricity.
