Bidirectional and smart charging should be treated as a condition for charging infrastructure, not as an optional add-on. Electric vehicles can increase electricity demand, but they can also help distribute demand more intelligently. When charging responds to grid pressure, renewable generation and local availability, vehicles become part of a more flexible energy system.
This is especially relevant where electrification, charging infrastructure and grid congestion meet. Smart charging helps avoid unnecessary peaks, while bidirectional charging can turn parked vehicles into temporary buffers. The measure links mobility policy directly to energy-system resilience and practical implementation.
