V2X · Bi-directional charging

Your electric vehicle, a battery for your whole home.

V2X, “vehicle-to-everything”, lets energy flow both ways. Your EV doesn’t just charge from your home; it can power your home, extend your backup for days, and top up on your own solar. It’s the biggest battery you already own, put to work.

Ask about V2X

The basics

V2H, V2G, V2L, what the letters mean.

“V2X” is the umbrella term for bi-directional charging. Which one matters to you depends on your goals, here’s the plain-English version.

V2H, Vehicle‑to‑Home

Your EV powers your house. During an outage it feeds electricity back through your system to keep the lights, heat, fridge and Wi-Fi running, turning hours of backup into days.

V2G, Vehicle‑to‑Grid

Where the utility supports it, your car sends stored energy back to the grid at peak times, so you can charge cheap and export when power is worth more.

V2L, Vehicle‑to‑Load

Power tools, appliances or a campsite straight from the car’s outlets, handy for job sites, events, and emergencies, no wiring required.

Why bidirectional

One EV holds several days of home energy.

A typical home battery stores around 10–13 kWh. Many EVs carry 60–130 kWh, several times a house’s daily use. V2X unlocks that capacity for your home.

Backup that lasts days, not hours

When the grid goes down, your EV keeps essentials running far longer than a standalone battery could on its own.

Lower bills with smart timing

Charge when power is cheapest, then use, or export, that stored energy when rates and demand are highest.

Charge on your own solar

Fill the car with rooftop sunshine during the day instead of buying it back from the grid at night, even off-grid.

More resilience, less hardware

Pairing an EV with a smaller home battery can deliver serious backup without a wall of batteries.

Power anything, anywhere

With V2L, your vehicle becomes a mobile generator for tools, tailgates, campsites and outages.

Future-proof your home

We build V2X-ready so you’re set to switch it on as more vehicles and chargers support two-way power.

Powershare · the truck powers the house

Tesla Powershare

Bi-directional, the Tesla way.

With Tesla Powershare and a compatible Tesla vehicle, your car can share its battery back to the home through Powerwall, automatically stepping in to extend backup during an outage. It’s whole-home backup that grows with the vehicle in your driveway.

Sigenergy V2X

DC charging, built in.

The Sigenergy SigenStor integrates EV DC charging and V2X directly into its modular stack: a single, expandable system for solar, storage and bi-directional charging, and it’s eligible for the BC Hydro battery rebate.

What you need

Three pieces make V2X work.

1 · The vehicle

A bi-directional EV

A vehicle that supports sending power out, not just taking it in. The list is growing fast, we’ll confirm what yours can do.

2 · The charger

A two-way charger

A bi-directional charger or a system like Tesla Powershare or Sigenergy SigenStor that manages power in both directions safely.

3 · The integration

Home energy & control

A gateway and electrical integration, installed by a licensed electrician, that decides when to charge the car, power the home, or draw from the grid.

Compatibility

Is your vehicle ready for V2X?

Bi-directional support is expanding across the market, including models from Tesla (Powershare), Ford, Nissan, Hyundai and Kia, GM and others. Capability depends on your exact vehicle, its software, and the charger it’s paired with.

Tell us what you drive (or plan to buy) and we’ll tell you exactly what’s possible today, and how to be ready for what’s coming.

Check my vehicle

Not ready for full V2X yet? Most homeowners start with solar and a home battery now, add smart EV charging, and switch on bi-directional power when their vehicle and charger support it. We design every system so you’re never boxed in.

How we build it

Solar, storage and your car, working as one.

Solar & storage

We install solar and a compatible battery (Powerwall or SigenStor) sized to your home.
