Dr. Lacher's foresight in preparing her veterinary clinic with bidirectional charging electric vehicles enabled her to provide critical emergency care during power outages.
"Because we're a vet clinic, we have to be available for emergencies," Dr. Lacher told InsideEVs. Both of those vehicles would be able to run critical devices if the power was knocked out."
