BMW’s future EVs will support bidirectional charging and will be able to store energy to send back to the grid.

BMW Neue Klasse models scheduled for launch in 2025 will be able to store electricity and function as a power outlet. They are equipped with technology for bidirectional charging – i.e. the ability to both accept and supply electricity.

Functions such as “Vehicle to Home”, “Vehicle to Grid” and “Vehicle to Load” will therefore be available to BMW customers for the first time.

Continental announced it has implemented a cross-domain High-Performance Computer (HPC) in a car. Hosting cockpit and additional vehicle functions, such as driving safety and automated parking, including holistic motion control in a real-life vehicle application was made possible.

This feat demonstrates the company’s commitment to advancing software-defined vehicles (SDVs) and showcases the potential of its cloud-based Continental Automotive Edge Framework (CAEdge).

ABB has opened a new €20 million injection molding manufacturing site at Evergem, near Ghent in Belgium, to meet the growing demand for safe, smart and sustainable electrification solutions in Europe. The global electrical enclosure market size is projected to grow from $7.42 billion in 2024 to $13.15 billion by 2032 due to increasing demand for new buildings, the modernization of existing buildings with more efficient and reliable electrical systems, and advances in electrical distribution.
