The automaker has approved a bi-directional charging system for use with the Leaf that will allow it to help power a building's electrical system.
The Fermata Energy Demand Charge Management works with the company's FE-15 charger and is aimed at commercial applications. The idea is that a parking lot full of Leafs that have been charged from the grid could send electricity back into the system during a power outage or when peak electricity rates kick in.The system is compatible with any Leaf built since 2013 and won't affect the factory warranty.The FE-15 is the first charger certified by Nissan for this use.
