Vattenfall, Energy Bank, and Volkswagen are collaborating on a new bidirectional EV charger project in Sweden
What's Happening
Vattenfall is Sweden’s state-owned power company. Two hundred bidirectional EV chargers will be installed in the country — these chargers can transmit electricity to electric vehicles and from electric vehicles back to the grid.
Why This Matters for EV Owners
The Bigger Picture
This development reflects broader shifts in the European EV market as charging infrastructure expands and new models enter the market..
EV Comparison: How Do These Models Stack Up?
Among these models, the Tesla Model 3 Long Range leads in efficiency at 14.4 kWh/100km, while the Mercedes EQS 450+ offers the longest range at 770 km WLTP.
| Model | Battery | WLTP Range | Efficiency |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tesla Model 3 Long Range | 75 kWh | 602 km | 14.4 kWh/100km |
| Tesla Model Y Long Range | 75 kWh | 533 km | 16.9 kWh/100km |
| BMW iX xDrive40 | 71 kWh | 425 km | 19.5 kWh/100km |
