Drivers cannot charge cars during power outages
Manufacturers do not support automatic EV charging during outages, even though the technology is technically possible. The text lacks information on how this feature would be implemented.
- Field
- energy and batteries
- What they did
- Researchers investigated the possibility of charging an electric vehicle from a home power grid during an outage, even though many manufacturers currently only support discharging the car's battery into the home.
- Why it matters
- This could be useful for electric vehicle owners to charge their cars when the external power grid is unavailable, rather than just using the car as a power source for their home.
