Relieving the Power Grid: Parked Electric Cars Charge Electric Ferries (heise.de)

• EV batteries as buffer for ferry power grid
• Pilot project on Norddeich–Norderney route
• Bidirectional charging eases local grid strain

"Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences and the shipping company Norden-Frisia are testing a system where electric cars discharge their batteries while parked at the ferry terminal to charge the ferries. The goal is to relieve the power grid and make ferry operations more sustainable. The project uses bidirectional charging and aims to demonstrate whether EV parking lots can stabilize grid infrastructure."
