Mandatory Two-Way Charging for New Electric Vehicles Starting 2029.

This law mandates that all new electric vehicles, including school buses, manufactured starting in model year 2029 must be equipped with bidirectional charging technology (Vehicle-to-Grid or V2G). This means future EV owners can use their vehicles not just to draw power, but also to supply energy back to the home or grid, enhancing energy resilience and providing emergency power options. The Department of Energy must also develop a national strategy and technical standards for implementing this technology.
Key points
New electric vehicles manufactured from model year 2029 must include two-way charging capability (V2G).
The Department of Energy will establish technical standards to standardize this technology across all manufacturers.
State and local disaster plans must incorporate the use of bidirectional charging capabilities for emergency power.
