CUPRA CONNECT SERVICES

Bidirectional charging (BIDI from now on) is the capacity to do two-way charging.  BIDI Home allows to transfer energy from the house to the car and from the car to the house, acting the car as a battery.

BIDI Home charging is only available in 77kWh battery as standard equipment and requires a compatible Wallbox.

This function does not require connectivity to work.

This BiDi App control needs enrollment.

From My CUPRA App the customer  can select the charging mode that he/she wants to use and can manage the stop of the charging.

To restart the charging process the customer  has two options:

•    To disconnect and connect the cable again

•    To manage this process  from the Wallbox provider’s App

HOW TO USE IT

When the car detects that is connected to the Bidi Wallbox, three charge mode options will appear: 

Immediate charging.

Enables the car charging. No SOC limitation.

Bidirectional charging (only with Bidi Wallbox).

Enables bidirectional charging. Vehicle will charge/discharge on Wallbox charger configuration.

Discharge (only with Bidi Wallbox).

Allows the discharge of energy from the car to the home electric network.

To manage the change of charge/discharge, it can be operated in 2 ways:

•    Keep “Bidirectional charging” mode and manage the change through the provider’s app

•    Change from “Bidirectional charging” to “Discharge” mode

Warning

The feature will be available in those electric vehicles that have the latest software installed. For more information, contact your CUPRA Service Specialist.
