CTOnews.com June 13, Renault announced that the upcoming Renault 5 pure electric vehicle will be the company's first electric vehicle to support two-way charging, thereby saving users 50% in charging costs.

When entering the peak period, users can reverse the amount of electricity stored in the car to their own power grid, thus reducing the electricity bill during the peak period. Renault confirmed that the technology will introduce all its electric models in the future.

Renault said that car owners can download a dedicated mobile phone App, tell the system their daily departure time and expected charge, and the system will automatically execute the charging plan. This function uses the algorithm of the British Mobilize company, the car will charge and discharge flexibly according to the electricity price of different periods, and can provide 11kW power to the home grid in reverse at most.

"based on peak electricity prices, customers who charge nine hours a day can save 50 per cent on car charging costs a year," said Alain Thoral, director of Mobilize Energy Solutions. "for customers who drive more than 50000 kilometers a year, the electricity savings are equivalent to allowing them to drive 7500 kilometers for free."

CTOnews.com has previously reported that Renault is considering a separate listing of its electric vehicle business and will launch an IPO as soon as this year. Because of its relative slowness in electrified transformation, Renault hopes to seek differentiation and bring users more "interesting experiences" like two-way charging.
