Special exhibit on bidirectional charging at The smarter E Europe

As renewable electricity reached 60% of Germany’s net generation in 2024, grid flexibility has become increasingly critical. EY, a professional services firm, has projected that Europe’s electricity flexibility demand will double by 2030. Eurelectric, the European electricity industry association, has estimated that EV batteries could provide 114 TWh of flexibility capacity within five years, though most remain untapped. The smarter E Europe has announced a special exhibit on bidirectional charging, scheduled from May 7-9, 2025, at Messe München. The exhibit will feature vehicle-to-grid demonstrations, expert-led sessions, and real-world applications. Renault and The Mobility House will present a free EV charging initiative from France. Mercedes-Benz has emphasized the role of bidirectional charging in maintaining grid stability. Eurelectric, EY, E-Mobility Europe, and FfE are listed as key collaborators supporting the exhibit’s focus on flexible, EV-integrated energy systems.
