Does my MINI electric or plug-in hybrid vehicle support bidirectional charging?

No. MINI electric or plug-in hybrid vehicles do not currently support bidirectional charging. The bidirectional charging capability enables electric vehicles to not only absorb electrical energy for the high-voltage battery when connected to a compatible charging station or Wallbox, but also to feed it back into the power grid in the reverse direction. Electric vehicles thus become mobile energy storage devices that can also release electricity if required.
