Bidirectional Charging During Grid Outages

Currently, most electric vehicle manufacturers do not support bidirectional charging during grid outages, meaning cars can power homes when the grid fails but cannot recharge from solar panels simultaneously. The Tesla Cybertruck is the only vehicle today offering this capability, while other options from GM, Ford, and Kia either lack the feature, have been discontinued, or face technical limitations. Enphase is developing a bidirectional EV charger targeting production in late 2026, but full compatibility and availability remain uncertain.
