EV charging infrastructure company Verdek, and Andromeda Power, developer of the MotorTransformer™ bidirectional power platform, are partnering on a capital-efficient platform to enable electric vehicles to deliver power directly to buildings and the grid at up to 133 kW.

The agreement was launched at the second annual Vehicle-to-Grid USA 2026 summit.

Historically, the vehicle-to-grid (V2G) and vehicle-to-building (V2B) markets have long been constrained by the prohibitive cost of bidirectional charging hardware. Conventional systems often exceeding $100,000 per connector—creating a barrier that has restricted deployment to small-scale pilots, Verdek said.

The Verdek-Andromeda platform aims to eliminate this bottleneck. The MotorTransformer™ technology, that Andromeda is currently developing, will repurpose an EV’s existing traction motor as a galvanically isolated transformer while the vehicle is parked. The idea is to enable high-power AC bidirectional operation with no additional hardware, while adding no vehicle weight, and eliminating the need to replace existing AC infrastructure.

Performance and economic metrics released by Verdek indicate:

• Infrastructure savings: 90% cost reduction vs. conventional offboard DC systems.
• High-power capability: 133 kW bidirectional AC operation (J3068/J3068-2 compliant).
• Exceptional efficiency: 97.9% round-trip efficiency.
• Scalable BOM: $1,500 vehicle-onboard Bill of Materials, enabling rapid OEM and fleet integration.
• Validated IP: Platform protected by issued patents; validated via bench testing at 50 kW.

Verdek said it brings 18 years of established customer relationships, a nationwide footprint, and deep integrations with tier-one hardware partners like ChargePoint and ABB. Andromeda Power contributes the foundational IP and engineering roadmap. Together, this partnership presents a synergistic combination of proprietary technology and proven commercial infrastructure, Verdek said.

“Fleet operators and building owners are sitting on an enormous, untapped energy asset—the vehicles already in their lots,” said Guy Mannino, Verdek CEO. “We’ve spent 18 years building the infrastructure relationships to monetize that asset at scale.”

According to Mannino, the MotorTransformer™ technology makes the economics work. “This partnership is turning a market stuck in pilot mode into one ready for immediate commercial deployment.” 

The total addressable market (TAM) for V2X services is projected to exceed $50 billion by the early 2030s. Verdek and Andromeda’s platform leverages existing AC electrical infrastructure present in commercial buildings and fleet depots globally, and is designed for rapid horizontal scaling.
