Here are some facts about the BYD Seal EV:
- A Seal costs around $66k in Australia, before any subsidies.
- A Seal has a 80 kWh battery.
- BYD says the LFP batteries in the Seal should last around 25 years.
- BYD says they will ship a Vehicle to Grid kit (ie, when they do it can become a house battery). They already have a 3 kW "mains" power point in the car.
- I don't know how safe it would be, but in Australia people generally park their cars in a garage that is part of the house.
House consumption varies a lot, but if you remove aircon, pool filters and the like, 20 kWh / day will probably do you. So the Seal's battery should last 4 days.
In comparison, house batteries in Australia cost around $1000/kWh installed. If prices at the same rate a Seal should cost $80k for it's batteries, and you get a car thrown in for free.
