Dutch-German Networking Event on Bidirectional Charging

Discussion Event by The Dutch Embassy in Berlin, ElaadNL and Agora Verkehrswende

The Dutch Embassy in Berlin, ElaadNL and Agora Verkehrswende organized a Dutch-German Networking Event on bidirectional charging. As one of the latest innovations in the battle against grid congestion, bidirectional charging still faces a lot of regulatory and practical hurdles. To help overcome these hurdles, we have discussed the report by PWC on bidirectional charging commissioned by ElaadNL as well as the first large-scale pilot with bidirectional charging in Utrecht. These discussions were followed by a panel discussion with experts from the field.
