RWTH analysis proves bidirectional charging has little impact on battery life

The durability of electric car batteries is usually specified in terms of the number of charging cycles. If bidirectional charging adds additional charging cycles, this could affect durability; at least in theory. The Mobility House Energy and RWTH Aachen University examined the long-term effects of charging cycles, with a focus on V2G.
