Österreichische Post AG, EVN, and Netz Niederösterreich are testing bidirectional charging (V2G) in Mautern an der Donau, using five Maxus electric vehicles. These vehicles will charge at ZAPe wallboxes and can also return electricity to the grid.

The project utilizes solar energy stored in vehicles during idle times, acting as a large electricity storage system. As Austria's largest e-fleet operator, Swiss Post is equipped to implement intelligent charging strategies. Bidirectional charging is projected to be possible in Austria from early 2027, offering grid relief and optimizing photovoltaic energy use.
