I agree. Getting power from an EV is not stupid. Its brilliant. Buy a Ford if you want temporary AC power, like you'd get from a portable generator. But if your looking for a holistic permanent way to provide power to your home buy a Tesla with a Powerwall Plus with bilateral capabilities coming...

Yea. Something like that. From what Musk has said, It appears that Tesla will be adding bilateral charging to their cars by 2025. It just won't look like the V2G crowd is expecting. It appears that you will need a powerwall to take advantage of this. What might this look like? Current...

"I can't see much demand for recharging a DC battery from the cars DC battery (indeed those with solar & batteries already have the lowest need for V2x)" Maybe you can't see much demand because you don't understand how a sustainable future looks. Musk does. He said the opposite of your...

Hans. I couldn't agree with you more. The V2L crowd doesn't really know much about living on solar, or off grid. Solar or wind life means storage for when the sun doesn't shine. Thomas Edison understood that I think and Musk gets it too. DC to DC is very efficient. Their current controller board...

Never said doing things to code is stupid so don't follow your reply. $4K is the Ford cost, on their website, to do it the Ford way. I would never buy a Lightning. Can't tow anything very far with it. You can buy a 10kWh lithium solar battery pack, all day long for under $4k. You don't have to...

Right. But you're smart enough to know this.. People do stupid things when they get raw power directly from a generator or car. Fords Sunrun "extras" just to hook up to your home power is $4,000. (THAT BUYS YOU 10kWh of stationary battery power) Then you still just have an expensive home...

Ok. But with V2B there's no need to buy another 20kWh battery. 1 stationary home battery will do. Use your EV to "supplement", as Musk says, your stationary solaredge battery. 20kWh for nighttime, including peak energy, borrowed from a 100 kWh EV, has little if any degradation effect on your...

On V2G, V2L etc..... What Would Elon Do. WWDO Tesla developing bi-directional charging feature 'many people' won't use. He has spoken and as always, he makes sense out of nonsense. Here are his words. " “I mean, if you have a Powerwall that can take the house load, then you can use your car as...
