According to a reddit post (
), the standard for V2G has finally been published.
Most people don't realize that a bunch of hardware will need to be installed house side to use V2G. But we do!
In theory, Tesla could add support for V2G protocols to the Backup Gateway and PW+ (since that's the controller when Backup Switch is used). That would minimize the amount of hardware needed for those of us with PW installations already.
The only other piece of hardware needed is a wall connector that can do the DC -> AC conversion.
Would be great to supplement PW capacity with V2G in extended outages!
