Nissan approved the Fermata Energy FE-15 charger for use with the Leaf, and it could provide a viable load-shedding solution if it comes to South Africa.

Nissan approved a bidirectional charging system for its Leaf electric vehicle, allowing it to power homes with the car’s battery.

The vehicle manufacturer approved Fermata Energy’s FE-15 charger for use with the Nissan Leaf in the US.“Bi-directional charging technology means not only charging the Nissan Leaf, but also sending energy stored in the vehicle battery back to the building or the grid,” Nissan said in aThe Nissan Leaf is the only fully electric passenger vehicle in the US market capable of supplying energy to the grid.

If it introduces new models and the FE-15 charger in South Africa, it could provide a viable load-shedding backup in addition to a mode of transport. Fermata’s Energy Demand Management application, in combination with the FE-15 charge, continually monitors the power draw for a building and may call on the Leaf’s energy to provide power during high-demand periods.

Nissan said it would continue to explore additional opportunities in the Vehicle-to-Everything market, including residential applications.
