Bidirectional Charging Utility Partnerships

What is happening? Partnerships between Duke Energy and Ford 150 Lightning owners and PG&E’s V2X program are focused on bidirectional charging. The electric utility goals include: lowering utility costs, powering homes during outages,  lower electricity demand during peak periods, and protecting the US’s aging grid infrastructure.

Why is this important? PG&E’s program includes consumer incentives for participation. $3,000 for customers in disadvantaged communities.
