Electric cars boast increasingly powerful batteries that are charged from the energy grid or rooftop solar systems.

But when the car isn't in use, its battery can serve as storage for homes and the grid via a bidirectional charging process that can reduce power costs.

Solar power can flow from the roof of a house into the car battery during the day , and back into the building from the car in the evening.

The offer has been "well received in France , we are getting a lot of interest," said Thomas Raffeiner from Mobility House .

According to a survey commissioned by energy supplier Eon , 77% of respondents would use bidirectional charging technology to supply their own buildings.

Experts recommend that the new generation of charging stations should function bidirectionally wherever possible.
