Melbourne-based Rectifier Technologies has unveiled its first two-way electric vehicle (EV) charger, which will allow homes and businesses to only recharge an EV, but also resell excess electricity to the grid.

This generation, known as “Vehicle-to-Grid” (V2G), allows owners of two-way electric cars, such as the Nissan Leaf, to resell electrical power to the grid during peak periods, helping to reduce their electric power bills. .

This is the first time for the force conversion company, which also sells a variety of battery chargers and power modules, and which has several global customers, adding Brisbane-based EV quick charger manufacturer Tritium, which CC charging fast to primary EV charging networks. like Ionity of Europe.

Since the Network Vehicles (V2G) market is expected to succeed at $18 billion ($25 billion) through 2027, the announcement potentially puts Rectifier Technologies with a first-come advantage.

As noted through Small Caps in April 2019, it is (and remains) the only distributor and component of the electric vehicle force apparatus (EVSE) indexed on the ASX.

Designed with limited parking spaces in mind, the thin two-way wall “Highbury DC” has a maximum load and discharge rate of 7 kW, and will be available until the end of 2021 once the unit has received certification.
