So, if you were to sign up with Octopus on a time of use, you can get seven and a half pence overnight versus about 34p in the day.” Schooling goes on to speak about the two most common types of bidirectional charging – V2G and V2H – and the differences between them, as well as offering his thoughts on how he sees EV charging technology evolving in the future.
