This study reveals that the bidirectional EV charging improves energy efficiency and reduces CO 2 emissions by optimizing PV energy utilization in Jordan to charge EVs, however, its increased initial costs under TOU pricing highlight the need for supportive policies to. . This study reveals that the bidirectional EV charging improves energy efficiency and reduces CO 2 emissions by optimizing PV energy utilization in Jordan to charge EVs, however, its increased initial costs under TOU pricing highlight the need for supportive policies to. . In contrast, bidirectional chargers enable advanced functionalities such as Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) and Vehicle-to-Home (V2H) but come with greater complexity, higher costs, and design challenges. This aim of this research is to analyze unidirectional and bidirectional charging systems integrated. . This paper presents a novel approach to bi-directional EV fast charging by integrating solar energy and ultra-wide bandgap power devices, aiming to enhance both the sustainability and performance of EV charging systems. This paper focuses on the two main demonstrated use cases in. .
