V2X-Technology

The V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything) technology of the OBC V2X transforms the electric vehicle into an active participant in the energy economy. In addition to traditional charging, the OBC V2X allows energy to be fed back from the vehicle into the grid or other applications. This opens up a wide range of applications and benefits:

  • V2G (Vehicle-to-Grid)**: Excess energy is fed back into the public power grid, contributing to grid stability.
  • V2H (Vehicle-to-Home)**: The vehicle supplies power to private households, supporting self-consumption, especially in combination with photovoltaic systems.
  • V2L (Vehicle-to-Load)**: External devices and loads can be powered directly from the vehicle, ideal for use on the go or during power outages.
  • V2V (Vehicle-to-Vehicle)**: Energy can be exchanged between vehicles to charge other vehicles or trailers.

Advantages of Bidirectional Charging Technology

Bidirectional charging technology (V2X) not only provides flexibility for users but also has the potential to ease the burden on the power grid and support the transition to a sustainable energy supply:

  • Cost savings**: By feeding energy back into the grid, users can benefit from feed-in tariffs.
  • Sustainability**: V2X promotes the use of renewable energy by allowing vehicles to store excess solar energy and return it to the grid when needed.
  • Backup power**: In the event of power outages, the vehicle can be used as a mobile energy source.
  • Future-proof solution**: V2X technology is a key component for the intelligent integration of electromobility, smart grids, and energy storage systems.

Universal Applications

The OBC V2X is a highly flexible and scalable solution that can be optimally applied across various sectors. It demonstrates its maximum efficiency and adaptability particularly in the following key applications:

  • Commercial Vehicles/Trucks: Commercial vehicles, such as trucks, greatly benefit from the bidirectional charging capability of the OBC V2X. With its high charging power and grid compatibility, the OBC V2X can be used not only for charging vehicle batteries but also for feeding energy back into the grid or powering external devices. This increases energy efficiency and reduces operating costs, while the scalability allows for optimizing charging power depending on the size of the vehicle.
  • E-Nautics: For electric ships and yachts, the OBC V2X offers a robust and reliable solution to charge high-voltage batteries and manage energy efficiently. Thanks to its universal grid compatibility, the OBC V2X can easily be integrated into various maritime infrastructures. The bidirectional charging feature allows energy to be fed back into the ship or even into the mainland grid.
  • Off-Highway Heavy Duty: In construction, agriculture, and mining, heavy machinery operates with immense energy demands. The OBC V2X is ideal for these demanding environments, as it provides high charging power while reliably functioning in harsh conditions. The scalability of the charging systems makes it especially valuable for applications with varying energy needs.
  • Municipal Vehicles: Municipal vehicles, such as garbage trucks or snowplows, require powerful and durable energy storage solutions. The OBC V2X not only supports efficient battery charging but also allows energy to be fed into the infrastructure—such as supporting power grids or powering public buildings.
  • Trains: In the realm of electromobility for trains, the OBC V2X plays a crucial role. Its universal grid compatibility and high charging efficiency allow seamless integration into railway networks, providing energy both for train batteries and for powering stations and other infrastructure facilities.
  • Public Transportation: Electric buses and other forms of public transport benefit from the flexible charging power of the OBC V2X. It ensures short charging times and efficient operation in urban transportation. The ability to feed energy back into the public grid makes the OBC V2X a valuable component for smart, energy-efficient cities.
