ᐅ Electric Vehicle – Bidirectional Charging: The Next-Generation Battery Storage

Hello everyone,
I am going to buy a new car this week. This time it will be an electric vehicle.
The choice will be between the VW ID.5 GTX and the Audi Q4 e-tron 50 quattro.
During my research, I found out that the ID.5 has a really cool and new feature for EVs: the 77 kWh (84.2 kWh) battery can be charged and discharged bidirectionally. This means the ID.5’s battery can serve as a storage system for self-generated solar power from photovoltaic panels. That’s pretty brilliant!
Has anyone here looked into this in more detail and can share some insights?
And maybe we have some car enthusiasts here who know whether the Q4 e-tron is equipped with the same technology?
Since both the ID.5 and the Q4 e-tron are manufactured in Zwickau and are largely similar, does this also apply to the battery technology?
If this really works reliably, in my opinion, it would be another milestone toward even greater energy independence!
I’m looking forward to the discussion…

No, I agree. Why do you want to sell the one with the low mileage? It should last for several more years.
I don’t think you’ll only get it taken off your hands for free then. At the moment, prices for used combustion vehicles are high, and that’s not going to change.Well, to be honest. Because €1.70 for fuel really hurts.
I suspect I could still get somewhere between 8-9K€ for the car now. In two or three years, that will look very different. At least, that was the case with my last car.
But it doesn’t really matter. So far, it’s just an idea. And not to forget:
“new car? unfortunately cool!”
Can anyone say something about the SMA wallbox?
Otherwise, I wish all forum members a great start into the new year!

At 7,000km (4,350 miles) per year, 600km (375 miles) per month, refueling isn’t much of a burden. Calculate the depreciation over the same period. Keep driving until 100,000km (62,000 miles), or even longer—the car is just broken in.So it will be scrapped after all? 😉Tarnari schrieb:

Otherwise, I wish all forum members a good start to the new year! Wallboxes are quite simple electronics. They shouldn’t cost four figures, no matter which brand it is. There’s no reason to buy something “within the system.”
I wouldn’t sell the Octavia at that mileage either. Running costs are not the main issue, but depreciation. Everything is fine for you except a new car.
