V2L Again

[Aka-none]

I've already got the car and I can't seem to find a 93-kWh battery for free

I just want to use it when the power goes out, which is usually only once or twice a year. I wouldn't need the equivalent of over 6 Tesla powerwalls for that. The added benefit is that in a prolonged outage, it's possible for me to drive to an open DC charging station and come back with a "full tank".

All very true and your use case.

Sorry @socktucker
If you had socktuckers car would you be willing to do anything more or would you consider wtf and go fo it?

My use case is to add battery to save what I currently send away. And slowly add more solar. I want to go to about 32kw and only need a fast charger on a trip so all car power from solar

That's what I do, but it takes a lot of battery. I have 25kWh worth and in the summer peak, wish I had nearly twice that.

That's brilliant! If V2H was working, I would tell @socktucker to park that bad boy next to his solar AC inverter to use it as a battery while waiting for Lucid to take it back

@Aka-none Your point is well taken. A car is not a good use for time shifting electricity production and usage. But for people who don't drive everyday, I could see useful applications.
