Renault Group has announced the development of a very high-efficiency bidirectional on-board charger, which will reduce energy losses by 30%, recharge the vehicle's battery faster and enable battery energy to be injected into the electrical grid.

The fruit of nearly three years' research and the subject of 11 joint patents with the CEA, this power converter, developed from innovative materials and more compact, will be deployed on Renault vehicles by the end of the decade.

"With bidirectional charging, the vehicle serves the electrical grid and enables the end consumer to reduce energy costs", comments Jean-François Salessy, Director of Advanced Engineering at Renault Group.
