Anyone know how the NACS plug works with the cybertruck for powering your house?
Specifically, the NACS plug doesn't have a neutral conductor, so how does the neutral current get from the inverter in the car into your house wiring?
If it's 220V from the car to the house and the neutral is generated in the wall box, that's gonna be expensive - you need power electronics to output a peak of ~100 amps at 110V, all because the NACS plug is missing a conductor.

Its longer so that its first to make last to break which is a requirement for most ground pins. I assume both J1772 and NACS use their ground conductors for neutral when in V2H mode since a ground conductor wouldn’t really do much when the car is feeding power to the home. Both plugs have 5 pins.
