A small thing I want to remark is that at that price, a Model 3 costs less than 3x, and has more than 3x the battery capacity.
Considering DC connectors on EVs provide a direct electrical connection to the battery terminal, and the charge-discharge circuitry in residential hybrid solar inverters can handle them just fine (provided it supports the voltage ranges, but people did this).
I think it's an enormous missed opportunity, that the most common charger standards don't support this (CCS2 doesn't, Chademo does, no idea about NACS)
If this was a thing, I think it would completely reshuffle the EV market, I don't know how used residential batteries depreciate, but I doubt they lose more than half of their value in 5 years like EVS do.
- wang_li 10mo agoThe Ioniq has the ability to provide battery power out so you can plug your house in.
- torginus 10mo agoI'm talking about something a bit different - the Ioniq uses a V2L, which means it has an onboard inverter that generates AC mains voltage through the plug, and can be used to provide equipment directly. What I'm describing is using the cars DC charge port and connecting it to inverters DC battery port.
