    Yeah there’d be a huge dummy spit here if suddenly barriers were thrown up to Chinese…cars in Australia. Lots of people driving them, using them as battery backup for home solar systems.

      i used V2L on mine once during a power outage, a storm took out some trees that took out some power lines. Mine comes with a 3 plug GPO, one end to the car charge port for power, the other one extension cord to the fridge, one to the freezer and the other to a couple LED desk lamps, router and NBN box and USB charger. We’d lost power for about 2 days. Barley budged the battery level in the car.

      V2H and V2G will become more of a thing as well eventually although lots of folks are busy installing home batteries.

        Yeah they’ve been a game changer and they’re helping us build a very resilient grid. If I owned it’d be a no brained for me as well. I’d have one and I’d have it plugged to solar.
