A standard US dryer outlet is rated for 30 amps at 240v. For a sustained rating of 80% that's 5760 watts, which at 4 miles per kwh is 23 miles per hour, not 30.

Frankly it would take a hell of a lot to convince people to be ok with getting home, plugging their car in, and having the charge level go down instead of up. I certainly wouldn't be comfortable with it.
- themitigating 4y agoWhy wouldn't you be comfortable?
- causality0 4y agoBecause I might have to go somewhere without hours of notice. Maybe I need to go somewhere I can't leave the car plugged in. Maybe I'll get stuck in a traffic jam. Maybe I'll have to drive to a hospital a hundred miles away, as has happened before. I might sign up for this if my household kept at least one ICE vehicle, but not otherwise.
- themitigating 4y agoI think you're view is based on politics.

- sokoloff 4y agoA 15-50 outlet is the most straightforward part of the problem to solve here I think. Paying people the right price for their V2G supply will go a long way to making them comfortable, I think. The ones that aren’t don’t have to.

- causality0 4y agoIt would have to be quite a difference in how much power costs, at least 25 percent or more.
