Bidirectional Charging Market by Application (V2G, V2H, V2L), Propulsion Type (BEV and PHEV), Vehicle Type (Passenger Car and Light Commercial Vehicle), Charging Type (AC Charging and DC Charging), End Use, and Region - Global Forecast to 2035

The global bidirectional charging market is projected to rise from USD 70.0 million in 2025 to USD 844.1 million by 2035, at a CAGR of 28.3%. Demand for bidirectional charging is driven by lower energy costs, reliable home backup power, and enhanced grid stability. Vehicle-to-House capabilities allow EVs to feed energy back to homes, supporting peak load management. Once V2G adoption increases, consumers are expected to see potential savings through energy arbitrage and backup power. Regulatory incentives and smart grid initiatives will further accelerate adoption.

Key technology developments that drive bidirectional charging demand include advanced power electronics for efficient energy flow, high-capacity and fast-charging EV batteries, and smart energy management systems for real-time grid interaction. Standardized communication protocols between vehicles and the grid are emerging, enabling seamless integration. Improved inverter technology reduces losses during energy export. Key advanced electronics include high-efficiency bidirectional DC-DC converters and inverters that manage seamless two-way power flow, supported by smart control systems for grid synchronization and energy optimization. Cost reductions in chargers and batteries, along with energy arbitrage opportunities, are expected to make bidirectional solutions commercially viable.

“V2L application is set to account for the largest segment during the forecast period.”

V2L is the most accessible form of bidirectional charging and has gained rapid traction because it requires the least infrastructure and enables straightforward use cases like powering external electrical appliances. Several passenger cars already have this functionality as standard, especially from Chinese and Korean OEMs. BYD Dolphin, Atto 3, and MG4 are equipped with V2L ports, often included across even mid-level trims. The Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Genesis GV60 are well-known global models providing V2L for convenience. Premium OEMs such as Leapmotor and Lucid Motors also provide this feature across their offerings. Other OEMs plan to provide this as a base feature, starting with some top trims of their bestselling EVs.

“OEM innovation to drive bidirectional EV charging market growth.”

Leading OEMs such as Ford, GM, Tesla, Hyundai, Kia, and Volkswagen are significantly driving the bidirectional charging market in North America through the introduction of advanced EV models equipped with V2H and V2G capabilities. GM’s Silverado, Tesla’s Cybertruck, and Ford’s F-Series provide V2H functionality in their higher trims, allowing owners to use their vehicles as home backup power sources during outages. These OEMs are also expanding plans to integrate V2G capabilities, enabling consumer and fleet vehicles to participate in grid services that support demand response, frequency regulation, and energy trading, ultimately reducing operating costs for owners.

Hyundai and Kia enhance the market with models like the Ioniq 5 and EV6, which include V2L features that increase EV utility by enabling energy supply to external devices, advancing consumer convenience and energy resilience. Strategic partnerships between OEMs, utility companies, and technology providers foster optimized bidirectional charging infrastructure, further accelerating adoption. This multi-stakeholder collaboration, coupled with strong OEM model availability and growing consumer interest in energy-flexible solutions, positions North America as a leading region for bidirectional charging technology expansion and grid integration benefits.
