Evnex working on a bi-directional EV charger
Here is the latest update from Evnex on a thread in their community forums:
>Yes it’s still on the horizon.
>Sigenergy and similar “ecosystem” players have the luxury of being able to “hide” their bidirectional charger behind their battery. This means that the battery inverter is responsible for meeting all of the required standards for a grid connection, and the charger is really just connecting the car battery to supplement existing stationary storage.
>We prefer the model where standards are handled by the charger and car, because that means it can be installed in any home regardless of what other hardware already exists (and which brand / ecosystem it might be). This makes it a truly universal product which anyone can buy and know it will work.
>Of course that means that things take a little longer, but we think it will be worth the wait to keep things as simple as possible for drivers.
No update on when exactly we are likely to see this come to market.

I currently have a Sigen set up but I would prefer an Evnex solution. I had an Evnex charger installed when I purchased my first EV back in 2024. I got solar installed in late May this year but the set up of my house means my inverter stack is too far away to be useful for getting the DC charger.
