Wallbox、双向能源合作，在整个加利福尼亚州和康涅狄格州推出多州双向充电计划

SAN FRANCISCO & ARLINGTON, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Bidirectional Energy, a software provider enabling EVs to serve as flexible energy resources, today announced in partnership with Wallbox (NYSE:WBX), a global provider of electric vehicle ("EV") charging and energy management solutions, the launch of North America's first multi-state bidirectional charging program, open to 180 homes across California and Connecticut.

The pilots will kick off by enabling Kia EV9 owners to leverage Wallbox's Quasar 2 bidirectional charger and Bidirectional Energy's virtual power plant ("VPP") platform to save money, support the power grid, and accelerate the adoption of flexible energy systems across the United States. The program will expand to additional vehicles and homes at a later date.

The program, developed with local utilities and stakeholders in the two states, provides participating customers with substantial incentives: up to $8,800 in California for charger and installation costs, and up to $10,800 in Connecticut, alongside estimated annual energy bill savings and grid support earnings of up to $1,500 and $1,350 in each respective U.S. state. These initiatives make it easier than ever for drivers to adopt cutting-edge charging technology while helping stabilize the grid.
