California May Require Bidirectional Charging EVs. That Could Save Lives
Many questions persistently pop up around electric vehicles, but this one has come up more often than others lately: "How will EVs hold up in a natural disaster?" Over the past year people are using their EVs as home-powering and even life-saving energy generators during extreme weather events.
A new law signed by California Gov. Gavin Newsom is an extremely big deal. That law could end up requiring all new EVs sold in the state to offer V2L charging. With more EVs on the road, they can power homes, support the electric grid during times of need and even supply electricity to medical devices if things get really bad.
