This paper reviews the current status and implementation of battery chargers, charging power levels, and infrastructure for plug-in electric vehicles and hybrids. Charger systems are categorized into off-board and on-board types with unidirectional or bidirectional power flow. Unidirectional charging limits hardware requirements and simplifies interconnection issues.

It is not possible to provide reactive power from a battery alone. You can provide reactive power to the grid by grid connected inverter whose current is controlled to be in phase quadrature with the grid voltage. The reactive power is stored in the reactive elements in the grid, but is it withdrawn from the power stored in the battery.
Since a battery is DC it only stores or releases real power the battery itself won't affect reactive power. However like any other DC source the connection to the AC system can be used to correct PF or provide reactive support. The reactive power means that there is an ac component of current which delivers and restore power repetitively.
When an EV is attached to a charger, the EV battery will either begin charging instantly or after a wait. If most EVs charge at the same time, there will be a high demand for power and energy from the power grid, which will lead to an undesirable low voltage within the distribution network.
The vehicle’s internal battery pack is charged under the control of the battery management system (BMS). The majority of EV manufacturers currently use conductive charging. Fig. 14. A schematic layout of onboard and off-board EV charging systems (Rajendran et al., 2021a). 3.2.2. Wireless charging
A bi-directional EV charger functions by controlling the switching of its power converter modules to fast charge an electric vehicle (EV), as well as to provide reactive power compensation for voltage regulation and power factor correction. It is capable of supplying sufficient reactive power to the grid in all situations.
The batteries are never discharged by the charger. They are discharged by the equipment they power. One of the problems discussed in the paper is that the power factor of the charger may depend on the charger's load. It is implied that the charger's load depends on the battery "state of charge" (or discharge depth).
