Additional info on bidirectional chargers from the CEO of Enphase

Since the Enphase earnings call didn't provide any ship dates for the bidirectional charger, I reached out by email to Badri Kothandaraman, the CEO of Enphase, to ask for further details. He responded! His email is below:

> Our plans have always been late 2025 on the DC Bidi charger product.
>
> The DC Bidi charger product has an inverter outside the car which interfaces between 1000v DC on the car side and regular AC on the home side. This is an all-GaN design in a 3.8 KW microinverter. The product would have 3 such microinverters for a 11-kW DC Bidi charger. The product has additional complex control and connectivity circuitry interfacing to the car and home.
>
> Warning: there may be further delays in schedule due to the standards in development (15118). And compliance is relatively complex here as we are trying to work with all cars compatible to the standard.
>
> Our second-generation uni-directional EV charger which is slated for Europe release in late 2024 ( this year) has been designed to be compatible to AC bi-di cars with a software release. Here the bi-di inverter is in the car and not present externally, hence AC. But that release still depends on the 15118-communication standard being robust and available ( it is not today). And you’ll see that mature more in 2025.
>
> This is an accurate status but note things are evolving and Enphase usually takes time to produce something that’s highest quality and reliability. I’ll be sure to give an update in our earnings call again regularly.
