Electric car owners may be able to save hundreds of pounds on energy bills with a new Ovo Energy trial - but only if they manage to get a rare expensive charger fitted first. The Ovo trial, which launches today, exploits the fact that electric cars are essentially just a giant battery on wheels. Normal electric car chargers let power flow one way, into a vehicle. Getting power back out of an electric car batter requires a 'bi-directional' charger. Ovo's 'vehicle-to-everything' power trial, called Inflexion, is being carried out with energy software firm Kaluza.
