ChaDeMo like on the Nissan leaves sold outside the US have been capable of car to house bidirectional charging for over 15 years now 😎

There’s these things called portable generators, see? They use liquid fuels and are awesomely convenient – and they don’t reduce range on your battery electric vehicle.

The energy conversion efficiency is pretty low though no? You’re wasting most of the liquid energy to heat energy and pretty little useful energy

@Chunks – It converts more efficiently than wind or solar and has the added benefit of making a certain gas that is made from carbon and oxygen which feeds plants via photosynthesis! Win – win -win!

In India only the Hyundai ioniq 5 and the KIA EV6 have bidirectional V2L systems, oh, I forgot, also the BYD atto 3 features V2L… do the Volvo XC40 recharge, and the Mercedes EQ-x series have bidirectional charging?. Not sure… excellent informative video, loved it…..

So you say any EV charging sucks, so care to explain how you came to that conclusion?

i hope people consider the battery wear for bidirectional..

Yes thankfully the battery warranty on most cars is mileage and time based so even if you put excessive wear on the battery through v2l, it won’t impact warranty claims.

Isn’t the point of a battery to… use it?

@Anon Yes but it will make the batteries not last as long. Batteries only have a certain number of charges and discharges. Once that number is hit. The battery can no longer charge to 100%.

The amount you will utilize this feature it won’t be a problem. Even if you used the battery for a power source overnight it won’t be an issue.

I’m trying to figure out how the school bus idea is a good call.
Batteries are heavy. There’s no need to have a ton more on board battery than the vehicle needs. You’re better off buying batteries and leaving them connected at all times.
And if the bus uses the full charge and then needs to power the grid …. How does it take the kids home?
A few hours of charge between the morning and afternoon run doesn’t seem like a big deal. All of that is leading me back to the superiority of separate batteries in a county. The bus can’t REALLY do double duty.

Right Zero. Don’t try to make sense of this whacky idea. Logic has left the chat.

We need bi-directional charging from vehicle to vehicle, vehicle to house & vehicle to power any 110/240v device, anytime, anywhere.

My greatest happiness is the gains I get consistently from my venture despite the business cycle. The U.S NFP is a key factor and knowing how to use it is really rewarding.

Wonder if we will end up with wireless bidirectional charging like wireless CarPlay

And are people still believing batteries all fall from the sky and it’s only a matter of time before we all have them?
They come from rare earth NOT mined by countries with our interests but their’s in mind, folks. It’s not about cleaning up the planet at all.
